Thermal Energy: The total kinetic energy
of particles that make up an object.
The more kinetic energy an object
has, the more thermal energy it
has. Thermal energy also deals with the
number of particles that are found in an
object.
The faster the particles are moving, the
hotter the object becomes.

39. • Activity sheet available. Temperature and
Conduction.

40. • Activity! Each table group will get two clear
containers filled with water.
– Teacher will place two colored ice cubes
(frozen water with food coloring) into each
container.
– One container has a heavy chain frozen in it
so that the block of ice will sink.
– Place both into the water at the same time
and record a picture of each with description
in your journal.

48. • In fluids, such as water and air, convection
is a more efficient method of heat transfer
than conduction.
– Conduction was at work in both, it transferred
less heat than convection which was visible
as the colored water moved around the
container.

52. • Activity! Conduction
– Place a styrofoam cup and wax paper cup
into two similar containers.
– Place weights into each cup so the container
cannot float.
– Place thermometers in each cup at the same
place.
– Teacher to pour 100 ml of boiling water into
graduated cylinders and then into container
(not into cup with weights).
• Caution! Water will be very hot.
– Record temperature of each on spreadsheet.

56. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?

57. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.

58. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– The styrofoam cup was the better insulator of
heat because it was ____ degrees cooler than
the wax paper cup.

59. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”

60. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– The water on the outside of the wax paper cup
was cooler because the thermal energy was
transferred into the cup through conduction.

61. • Questions.
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?

62. • Questions.
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?
– This activity demonstrates conduction because
thermal energy moved through the molecules in
the cup. This evident in the recorded
temperature changes.

63. • Demonstration (Optional) Gummy Plank
– Teacher to set-up a thin metal plank that
stretches over a candle.
– Place several Gummy Bears in a line on the
metal plank.
• Do not place a Gummy Bear directly over candle.
– Light candle and record time for each Gummy
Bear to melt / fall from the plank.

66.  Radiation: Energy that is radiated or
transmitted in the form of rays, waves, or
particles.

68. • Activity! Radiation and earthen materials.
– Set-up two clear containers with gravel.
– Place thermometers into gravel.
– Set-up a lamp that emits sufficient light / heat
and place over one gravel container.
– Place other container nearby but not under
the light.
– Record the temperatures of each container
every minute until temperature stabilizes.

69. • Radiation Available Sheet

71. Thermal
Infrared and
Light Waves
travel out
from light in
all directions

72. The energy
waves strike
the gravel
and are
absorbed.

73. The visible
light is
converted
into thermal
infrared heat

74. The gravel
then conducts
heat to the
other pieces of
gravel and
thermometer.
