Today we will be starting our next Thermal energy project. Each group of students will have a question that they will study. Please research the answer and find some examples that explains your Thermal Energy Concept. You need to have at least 5 sentences about your topic.
Here are some of our Thermal Energy questions:
- What is Thermal Energy? (Lucas, Daniel)
- What are basic sources of Thermal Energy? (Marcus, Kieran)
- How does Thermal Energy work? (Emily, Concetta, Marina)
- What is the difference between heat and temperature? (Zoe, Ibrakhim, Joseph)
- How does Thermal Energy Transfer? (Arwen, Sarah)
- What is Conduction? (Salina, Angela) (Nathalie, Arianna, Zoe)
- What is Convection? (Mohamed A, Matthew, Andres)
- What is Radiation? (Bowen, Mohamed F)
Extra questions for people who would like to make some Fun Fact videos.
- What is an insulator?
- What is friction?
- How do you measure temperature?
- Feel free to share about other interesting facts about Thermal Energy
