Year 8 · Science
Energy in matter
Start here
Focus on heat temperature and convection explained. Open support for “Explore How Temperature Affects Particle Motion and Spacing”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise heat temperature and convection explained.
The activities include Explore How Temperature Affects Particle Motion and Spacing, Compare Heat and Temperature, Compare Temperature with Internal Energy and Thermal Energy, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, teaching-practice, video, worksheet. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
