Pbs Learning Media: Heat Transfer
In this interactive activity adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, students will learn how heat can be transferred in one of three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
OpenSciEd
Open Sci Ed: 6.2 Thermal Energy
This Thermal Energy unit has students investigating two ways to transfer energy into a drink: (1) the absorption of light and (2) thermal energy from the warmer air around the drink. They are then challenged to design their own drink...

The Atom's Family: Building a Better Pyramid
Help the Mummy conserve energy inside the pyramid by adding layers of insulation. By using this site you will find out what happens when you add more layers of insulation.
PBS
Pbs Teachers: The Great Whales: Make a "Blubber Glove"
Examine the whale's layer of insulating fat, known as blubber, and test the effectiveness of fat as an insulator. Discuss how humans use insulating materials to protect themselves from exposure to cold temperatures.
