1. Intro to Heat
Get out your notebook and title it “Heat”. You will need colored pencils today. Think Pair Share with a neighbor about what heat is.

2. Then you have witnessed heat, but how would you define it??
What is Heat?
Ever feel the warmth from a fire?
Touch a hot iron and burn yourself?
Watch water boil on the stove?
Then you have witnessed heat, but how would you define it??

3. What is Heat?
Heat is the movement of energy from a warm object to a cool object.
Energy passes through atoms
Temperature is a measure of how much energy is in an object.

4. Measuring Heat of water
Celsius
Fahrenheit
Freezing – 0 degrees
Boiling – 100 degrees
Freezing – 32 degrees
Boiling – 212 degrees

5. Thermal Equilibrium
Molecules move from warm to cold until they reach a balanced temperature
This balance is called thermal equilibrium.

6. Insulators & Conductors
6th Grade Science

7. Conductors
Some materials like to pass heat energy through them and do it easily.
These materials are called conductors
Metal and glass are two examples of conductors
(You definitely don’t want to touch a metal pan when it’s on the stove!)

8. Insulators
Other materials do not transfer heat energy easily or it may take longer for the heat to pass through.
Foam and plastic are both good insulators
Example: plastic is normally used
for coolers to keep heat from
entering the container
(which keeps your food cold)

9. Expansion & Contraction

10. Vocabulary
Solid
particles vibrate in one place
Liquid
particles spin and move closely together
Gas
particles spin and move fast and far away from each other

11. Vocabulary Expansion Contraction
as molecules are heated they spread out as they move around quickly and cause objects to become larger (expand)
Heating = Bigger
as molecules are cooled they move closer together and cause objects to shrink (contract)
Cooling = Smaller

12. Heat Transfer

13. How Does Heat Move? Heat moves through objects in three main ways:
1. Conduction
2. Convection
3. Radiation

14. Conduction
When heat energy passes from one object to another when they touch
Example:
If you hold an ice cube in your hand the ice cube melts.
The heat energy passes from your hand to the ice.

15. Convection Happens in liquid and gas particles
Example: Air circulating through your room, water boiling in a pot, and lava lamps are examples of convection

16. Radiation
When heat energy does not need to travel through particles it is known as radiation.
Heat energy can travel through electromagnetic waves such as infrared, microwaves and visible light.
Example: The heat from the
sun travels by radiation

18. Your Assignment
Draw a scene where radiation, convection, and conduction are all taking place.
Label each of the three forms of heat transfer.
On the back write a story involving your scene (mentioning the use of the three forms of heat transfer)

19. Please grab the sheet from the front and write your name on it.
Please get out the sheet from yesterday and continue working on it.
Today we will watch Bill Nye: Heat and then grade it after so have a pen for later.

20. Today we will be conducting 2 lab competitions.
Brainstorm how you can make an ice cube stay unmelted.
Brainstorm how you can make an ice cube melt the fastest.

21. Please grab a book from the front and get out a few scrap sheets of paper.
Today we will be reading an article on heat and creating questions for others to answer from the text.
Write your question on one of the sheets of scrap paper.
You need three questions.

22. Good morning and welcome back! I hope you had a great break!
Today we will be reviewing how to graph and which graph is the best to use. Please grab the sheet from the front and have a pencil and colored pencils ready.
You get to pick your seat so choose wisely or you will have this privilege revoked!

23. Today we will be completing “Goldilocks” lab but with the real story!
Grab the sheet from the front and begin reading over the lab. You will need a pencil and colored pencils as well.
Write your hypothesis.
Quiz on Monday!

24. Today we will be reviewing and then taking our quiz on Heat.
Grab a whiteboard and a marker from the front. Look over your notes on heat.
Reminder: “Goldilocks” lab due tomorrow – you may work on it after the quiz
Have something to work on or read for after the quiz
