Levels: 3-4
Contextual strands:
Physical world
Synopsis
The title of this topic refers to the transfer of heat energy - a phenomenon that is familiar to children as they experience the processes of warming and cooling in everyday life. By investigating the ways in which heat is transferred, for example, from a cooking appliance to food to be cooked or from the inside to the outside of a refrigerator, children will have the opportunity to develop their understanding of the scientific concepts of:
- temperature
- temperature differences
- the transfer of energy between substances or objects at different temperatures
- the use of temperature differences in everyday technologies.
