Heat Transfer
Heat Transfer
What are the methods of heat transfer, and how can we test and find an effective insulation solution?
Critical Thinking: Students apply knowledge of heat transfer to solve practical problems, such as designing an effective insulation solution.
Adaptive Perseverance: Students experiment with different materials and designs, learning from failures and successes to refine their solutions.
Collaboration: Students work in teams to design, test, and evaluate their insulation solutions, leveraging diverse perspectives for better outcomes.
How do conduction, convection, and radiation differ in transferring heat?
What materials are considered good insulators, and why?
How can we design an experiment to test the effectiveness of different insulation materials?
Students will identify and explain the three methods of heat transfer.
Students will design and conduct an experiment to test and compare the effectiveness of insulation solutions.

MS-PS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
MS-PS3-4: Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
