For the past few weeks in Science, we have been learning about States of matter, Particle Theory
and Forms of Heat Transfer. This week in Science we had to create a stop-motion that shows
our understanding of Convection or Conduction.
and Forms of Heat Transfer. This week in Science we had to create a stop-motion that shows
our understanding of Convection or Conduction.
Convection and Conduction are both types of Heat transfer - where energy is passed from Hot
to Cold. When an object is heated up, the particles in it start moving faster as they gain energy.
These particles also try to spread out as the gaps between particles gets bigger.

What is Conduction?
Conduction - energy transferred through contact
When an object is heated up, the particles in it start moving faster as they gain energy. These
particles also try to spread out as the gaps between particles gets bigger. If an object is heated
from one end, the particles can transfer heat along. This is CONDUCTION.

In the Slow-motion it is showing an experiment based on conduction. For this experiment you will need a metal spoon, a number of pins, and a matchbox for heat. Then you will need to stick a few pins on the spoon. Then light the match to get heat, place the flame/heat/fire at the end of the spoon and observe. Then you will see that the pins will start dropping one by one. Therefore the heat will travel up the spoon and it will make it impossible to touch the spoon.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
