Heat transfer worksheets

Heat transfer worksheets

€3.56
(0)
Set of 4 straightforward worksheets with notes and questions testing their understanding of conduction, convection and radiation. Best done after the "standard" demonstrations. The "Convection stops!" worksheet is a "What if....?" scenario where students have to think about what would happen if convection didn't happen and fill in a mock newspaper front page. This could be adapted for conduction and radiation too.

Presentation introduces how to measure speed (distance/time) and students measure some "fun" speeds (the speed of someone walking to a boring class, speed of someone walking to a fun class, speed of a drip going down the window etc). They are then introduced to speed calculations and there is a worksheet (that should be personalised with your class names - they love that!). Presentation is in a humorous style with fun pictures.
