Year 4 Science Incursion: Heat / Melting Moments
Professor Bunsen is coming to Werribee Primary School to put on engaging science show for the Year 4 students.
Topic: Earth Science (Heat / Melting Moments)
Heat is a form of energy created by the motion of molecules. This popular interactive presentation focuses on the influence heat has on matter. We investigate and demonstrate
- The difference between hot and cold and our touch sense
- The way heat moves and what happens when heat moves in or out of matter and the associating phase changes
- Heat as the product of a chemical reaction such as combustion
- We look at reflection, radiation, convection & conduction of heat using examples
- Discuss sources of heat (friction, electricity, chemical, sun) and find the sun to be the biggest provider
- Heat effects: colour changes, melting, deformation or expansion, combustion (demonstrate steam engine and other heat engines)
- Find that water is an amazing absorber of heat on our planet and in the kitchen.
Thanks the Year 4 team
