In the lab completed on February 4th students discovered thermal energy is transfered at different rates depending on the object the energy is traveling. Below are students taking the temperature of the liquids after heated bolts are added to water and oil.

Students will have science test on Monday, February 10th. The concepts students will need to know have been discussed in the Cocoa Collision Simulation, Hot and Cold Hands Lab, Food Coloring in Hot/Cold Water Lab and the Videos shown in class. Students should have an understanding of the following vocabulary words: convection, conduction, radiation, thermal energy, conventions, energy transfer, random, equilibrium. Students have worksheets in their Interactive Science notebooks to use as a study guide.
