A friend bought two different mugs to give to their friends. They know Camdyn likes their hot cocoa to stay warm a long time but Vihaan likes his cocoa to cool down quickly.
Which mug would you recommend your friend give to Camdyn? Use words from the following vocabulary list to make your explanations more scientific:
conductor insulator collisions thermal energy heat kinetic energy
Which mug would you recommend your friend give to Vihaan? Use words from the following vocabulary list to make your explanations more scientific:
conductor insulator collisions thermal energy heat kinetic energy
How is kinetic energy related to thermal energy?
Draw an arrow to show which way thermal energy will move for each example below (or write none):
In the computer simulation, we saw that when 2 particles collide, they transfer energy.
What did this transfer of energy look like?
We know that "cold" doesn't actually exist, yet I heard that some students' parents don't believe that! What could you say to convince an adult that cold doesn't exist? What examples could you use from class to prove it to them?
