ENERGY QUEST: HEAT
ENERGY QUEST: HEAT
Raise the temperature of your students’ understanding of heat in this new program, which introduces heat as a form of energy. Students will conduct hands-on experiments into the properties of heat, learn about various types of thermometers and interact with “cool” sources of heat. The students will be introduced to the differences between heat and temperature, as well as the concepts of conduction and absorption. Program will run for 2 hours.
