Inquiry: Heat in Action
On-Site School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand A : STEM Investigation and Communication Skills
| A1.1 | use a scientific research process and associated skills to conduct investigations |
|---|---|
| A1.2 | use a scientific experimentation process and associated skills to conduct investigations |
| A1.3 | use an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems |
| A1.4 | follow established health and safety procedures during science and technology investigations, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and clothing and safely using tools, instruments, and materials |
| A1.5 | communicate their findings, using science and technology vocabulary and formats that are appropriate for specific audiences and purposes |
| A3.1 | describe practical applications of science and technology concepts in various occupations, including skilled trades, and how these applications address real-world problems |
Strand C : Matter and Energy
| C2.1 | demonstrate an understanding of the particle theory of matter |
|---|
Strand D : Structures and Mechanisms
| D2.6 | identify the factors that determine the suitability of materials for use in manufacturing a product or constructing a structure |
|---|
Strand E : Earth and Space Systems
| E2.1 | use particle theory to explain how heat affects the motion of particles in a solid, a liquid, and a gas |
|---|---|
| E2.2 | demonstrate an understanding of various ways in which heat is generated |
| E2.4 | explain how heat is transmitted through conduction, and describe natural processes that are affected by conduction |
| E2.5 | explain how heat is transmitted in liquids and gases through convection, and describe natural processes that depend on convection |
| E2.6 | explain how heat is transmitted through radiation, and describe the effects of radiation from the Sun on different kinds of surfaces |
Sensory Considerations
Students will work with ice cubes during this program.
