This activity invites students to investigate why, when you touch a variety of materials, some will seem warmer or colder than others, even when they're at the same temperature. The activity includes a list of tools and materials required, what to do and notice, an explanation for the underlying science of what students ...
Space exploration demands technological advances that enable survival in extremely harsh environments. In this lesson, students will explore contemporary spacesuit design and create their own representation of the suit’s thermoregulation system.
Explore with the Surfing Scientist team what happens when metals are heated and cooled. Find out what happens to a metal ring when it is immersed in extremely cold liquid nitrogen. What do hinges on the Sydney Harbour Bridge have to do with all this? Find out.
Students use this short resource consisting of five slides with diagrams, written explanation and voice-over to demonstrate that water can exist on either of three states: solid, liquid or gas depending on its temperature. It defines melting and boiling points. There is a two-question quiz and a summary slide.
'Ask an expert' ABC article about why is it cooler up in the mountains though it's closer to the sun and hot air rises. An excellent explanation that elicits discussion about solar radiation and heat energy and how energy is transferred and transformed.
One page with links to websites with interactive resources, information and activities to support primary students investigating energy and the Climate Clever Energy Savers program.
This simulation allows students to change the temperature and observe the changes at macro and micro level to water. It reinforces the Particle Theory.
This thermal comfort learning resource will guide students through an extended school based investigation. Students will develop and implement a chosen sustainability action and then evaluate and reflect on their success and their learning.
Run experiments in a plant research laboratory. Investigate the effects of different variables on the growth of lettuces, peas and tomatoes. Research the answers to questions about how to achieve optimum hydroponic growth conditions. Examine the effect of key variables on growth: nitrogen, temperature, light intensity and ...
