Year 8 · Science
Energy Is Matter
Start here
Focus on heat temperature and convection explained. Start with “Changes Due to Temperature in Motion and Spacing of Particles”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 8 learners practise heat temperature and convection explained.
The activities include Changes Due to Temperature in Motion and Spacing of Particles, 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.
Activities covered
- Changes Due to Temperature in Motion and Spacing of Particles
- Compare Heat and Temperature
- Compare Temperature with Internal Energy and Thermal Energy
- Describe an Experiment to Test Insulation
- Explain the Process of Convection
