From the Science4Us K-2nd grade Physical Science module: www.science4us.com/elementary-physical-science/energy/heat-energy/ Generate excitement in your classroom, at Club Sizzle! Here are some facts about heat energy: #1 - Heat energy is energy that you can feel, and it can be measured by a thermometer. #2 - Heat energy is used for many things, like cooking and keeping you warm. #3 - Heat energy can be manmade or natural, but the most important sources of heat energy is the sun! #4 - Heat energy moves from hot to cold until everything is the same temperature. #5 - Heat energy can move or transfer from hot to cold in two ways: 1. conduction, when heat moves between two objects in contact 2. radiation, when heat moves in waves between objects that are not in contact and #6 - Conductors like metal transfer heat quickly, while insulators like plastic, wood and cloth slow the movement of heat from hot to cold. Science4Us is a complete, web-based K-2 science curriculum that teaches science using a fun, interactive approach. In addition to digital games and online activities, there are tons of offline experiments and hands-on projects. Parents have access to detailed lesson plans, automated student reports and session guides to help you prepare and plan. www.Science4Us.com Next video: Heat Energy - Conduction and Radiation www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_aFOpZQWs4
