Guide students through learning about thermal energy with this set of ‘What is Heat?’ teaching slides.
Teaching Kids About Thermal Energy
A teacher has created this set of comprehensive teaching slides to guide you through the ins and outs of thermal energy with your students. The following topics are covered in this set of teaching slides:
- What is heat?
- Where does heat come from?
- How is heat transferred?
- How is heat measured?
- How does convection work?
- What is insulation?
- How heat can cause changes.
- How heat can be dangerous.
- How heat is essential for life.
Each slide has been carefully constructed with student-friendly scientific vocabulary. Use this set of thermal energy word wall cards to go with your thermal energy learning.
How to Use this Thermal Energy Set of Teaching Slides in Science
You can use this set of teaching slides on thermal energy as a guide for your teaching unit. With each slide covering a major component of thermal energy – this means you can work your way through the content and add activities for students to do that relate to the content. For example, you may look at how heat is transferred and then complete this Heat Transference Worksheet.
