Heat Transfer and Heat Energy Activity | Distance Learning for Google Slides™ + Print

Looking for a hands-on activity to see heat conduction and thermal energy in action? This is a fantastic laboratory experiment or project for home or school!

Included are:

• teacher notes
• a reproducible lab sheet with photos and step-by-step instructions for your students
• post-experiment teacher notes which explain what students will have observed, along with a kid-friendly explanation and real-world applications. The classroom-tested instructions are simple and require only materials that most students already have at home (mug of water, butter, metal, plastic and wooden items, and a bead or corn kernel)
• Google version of the reproducible lab worksheets for students to complete in Google Classroom™

This is a hands-on lab that is incredibly easy for a teacher to implement. It's great for 5E lesson plans and for teaching the scientific method. Parents enjoy seeing kids doing an actual experiment at home and watching the surprising results.

Your students will love doing this.

This experiment works very well for distance learning and remote learning since the few required materials are things that students already have in their homes and the assignment can be assigned with Google Slides™.
