Ms. Thames (Grade 6) –January 28th, 29th & 31st 2014
Essential question:
Why is thermal energy important
in transferring heat?
California standard:
Heat moves in a predictable
flow from warmer objects to
cooler objects until all the
objects are at the same
temperature. As a basis for
understanding this concept:
ES.3.c:
Students know heat flows in
solids by conduction (which
involves no flow of matter) and
in fluids by conduction and by
convection (which involves flow
of matter).
Proving Behavior:
Students will identify and
compare the different ways
thermal energy transfers
heat.
Today’s learning objective – What is my goal? Students will explain how thermal energy
transferres heat from one material to another.
Tuesday: What is thermal energy?
Wednesday: Complete the sentences: An example of heat transfer through conduction is
when… An example of heat transfer through radiation is when…
Friday: Unscramble the word and use in a sentence to show meaning: thermal conductor,
thermal insulator and Convection current
