Energy transfers in systems and heating
Start here
Focus on energy transfers and heat conduction. Open support for “Compare Heat and Temperature”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise energy transfers and heat conduction.
The activities include Compare Heat and Temperature, Define and Calculate Work Done, Describe Processes of Heat Transfer, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, video, worksheet, lesson. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
