Heat

The Heat Unit guides the students to explain how heat moves through different materials at different rates and can result in matter changing states. In this unit students will explore how heat can change things, identify sources of heat, understand the three states of matter, and measure temperature.

Critical Questions
  • Why do scientists write down what they see, do and find out?
     
  • Predict changes that take place due to heat.
