the Integrated Teaching and Learning Program: Teach Engineering
This is a lesson plan for grades 3-5 that introduces the concept of heat and thermal energy. It is designed as a teacher-led discussion to explore temperature, heat capacity, convection, conduction, and radiation. It includes background information for teachers, vocabulary sheets, and links to two related hands-on classroom activities.
Teach Engineering is an NSF-funded Pathway developed to provide high-quality experiential learning materials for K-12 classrooms.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Heat and Temperature
Unit Title: Understanding Temperature and Heat for Teachers of the Early Grades In this module for elementary grades, kids have fun learning about thermometers, temperature conversions, conduction, radiation, convection, and heat capacity.
