This term our class will explore heat in a science unit called Heating Up.
As part of this unit students are asked to find things at home that are heat sources and either draw them or take a photo to share with the class.(You may email me the photo and I will put it on the blog.)
Safety note; Students are asked to use safe ways to search for heat sources, including slowly moving a hand towards something and withdrawing before it gets too hot.
Tasks to do
1. Brainstorm with your family different objects at home that are heat sources and discuss if each one is warm, hot or very hot. Write an example of each on the blog " Heat sources that I have found in my house are........."
2. Discuss whether the object is producing heat or was heated by something else.
For example:
* A hairdryer. The vent area can get hot. It produces its own heat.
* A globe in a bedside lamp. It can get hot. It produces its own heat.
* A saucepan on the stove. It gets very hot. It is heated by something else.
Students only need to have a picture of one object that is a heat source for discussion in class on Wednesday.
I will not post comments straight away to ensure students are not copying answers without doing the investigation.
