7. Explore Activity: Heat Transfer by Radiation
Action Steps (Before We Can Start The Lab!)
In your textbook on Page 83 read the Explore Activity.
In your packet on Pages fill in the blanks for the Purpose and Procedure, then write your Hypothesis

8. Expore Activity: Heat Transfer by Radiation
Purpose
In this lab, you will observe temperature variations due to the transfer of heat by radiation.
Materials
Construction paper, black and white (1 sheet each)
Stapler
Thermometers

9. Explore Activity: Heat Transfer by Radiation
Procedure:
Fold a piece of black construction paper in half lengthwise to form a sleeve into which a thermometer can be inserted. Use a stapler to secure the bottom and side of the sleeve.
Use a piece of white construction paper to make a second sleeve.
Use two identical thermometers to observe and record the room temperature.
Insert one thermometer into the black sleeve. Insert the other thermometer into the white sleeve.
Place the sleeves, including their thermometers, side-by-side in direct sunlight. Put them where nobody will touch them.
After 15 minutes, observe and record the temperature reading on each thermometer.

10. Explore Activity: Heat Transfer by Radiation
Data Collection
Write the temperatures of both thermometers before and after (remember to write the units!)
Analysis Questions
How did the thermometer readings differ after 15 minutes?
How did color affect the transfer of heat?

11. Anticipation Guide
This is a chance for you to see how much you already know about what we are going to be studying.
Write True or False in the box next to each statement.
We will come back to this when we finish the chapter…

12. The Big Idea, CA Standards & Academic Vocabulary

Finally, use the Glossary in your textbook to find the definitions of the academic vocabulary words listed.

13. Line of Learning
We will do the Line of Learning each day at the end of class.
You will have five minutes to write a few sentences about what you learned in class that day.
When you are writing you should look at the objective for today – can you explain it?
Today’s Objective:
By the end of class, you should be able to explain how color can affect the transfer of heat.
