Review:
8. Click on link: Review video to watch a review a real-life example of conduction, convection and radiation (3.14 min).
List the examples used for each.
9. Click on link: game (do NOT hit the PLAY button but slide down to choose either Heroic Ants, Paper Bird, Wild Taxi Racing ,Coin Under Cups or Word Grid) to check your understanding of conduction, convection, and radiation.
A. Conduction is the transfer of heat energy by _____
B. Which statement is the best example of heat energy transfer by conduction?
C. The collision of molecules within a substance results in the transfer of energy by __________
D. During which process of energy exchange does cold air displace warmer air?
E. The process by which air flows from one location in the atmosphere to another is called ____
F. During which process does heat transfer occur because of density differences?
G. What method of energy transfer requires no medium for transfer?
H. Which action would help an air-conditioner use less energy on a hot, sunny summer day?
I. In general, good absorbers of electromagnetic radiation are also good
J. By which process do light rays pass through
10. Get the 3.2e Conduction, Radiation, Convection Worksheet from your teacher.
11. CHOOSE a final product. This is a test grade (go to #12 before starting!)
Choice #1 – Write a story, draw pictures/cartoons or create a collage.
Choice #2 – Video you demonstrating one experiment on conduction, convection, OR radiation.
12. Get a rubric after you have made your choice.
13. Research: Research online. Select a real life experience, an experiment to demonstrate or how you are going to demonstrate the workings of each. Get teacher approval signed on a brief written description. If it is the experiment, include the materials needed.

10. Get the 3.2e Conduction, Radiation, Convection Worksheet from your teacher.
11. CHOOSE a final product. This is a test grade (go to #12 before starting!)
Choice #1 – Write a story, draw pictures/cartoons or create a collage.
- Research & identify one real-life experience for conduction, convection, AND radiation. Write a short description & get teacher approval. Staple this to your rubric.
- Write your story (3 paragraphs with complete sentences) or draw/find a picture for each experience. (The collage can include all 3 on one page-it can be digital or paper.)
- Remember you will need to explain how each example is not the other two ways heat is transferred. For example, if your real-life experience is an example of conduction, you need to state why it IS conduction AND why it is not convection and radiation.
- Share your product with at least 3 students. Get their signatures on your rubric. Share it with your teacher & get her signature.
Choice #2 – Video you demonstrating one experiment on conduction, convection, OR radiation.
- Research & choose an experiment. Write a short description w/ materials needed. Get teacher approval. Staple this to your rubric.
- Gather the materials you need to complete the experiment.
- Practice the experiment once before you video.
- Ask someone to video you demonstrating your experiment. Upload it to Youtube on our channel.
- Remember you will need to explain why your experiment is on conduction, convection OR radiation. You will also state why it is not the other two ways heat is transferred.
- Show your video to at least 3 students. Have them make a comment of your video on Youtube w/their name & get their signatures on your rubric
