Insulating Ice Lab Guide: Investigating Conductors and Insulators Middle School - Easy Engaging Dollar Store Lab
$4.00
Introduce your middle school students to the fascinating world of thermal conductors and insulators with our complete lab pack! This 8-page resource is packed with interactive activities that bring the principles of thermal energy to life, engaging your middle school students in a fun and memorable learning experience.
The "Insulating Ice" lab guide is the highlight of this lab pack, offering a visual guide and suggested dollar store materials that make it easy and affordable for any teacher on a budget. In this lab, students will test the effectiveness of common materials at keeping an ice cube frozen, monitor the temperature, and carefully observe the ice over time to crown the best insulator. They'll rank all materials on a continuum from best insulator to best conductor, forming hypotheses before conducting experiments and then refining their conclusions based on data.
After the lab, follow up on learning with the "Hot or Not: A Guide to Thermal Conductivity" article and question set. This resource also includes two multi-purpose infographics that can be used as notebook inserts, digital notes, or classroom posters to help students better understand thermal conductivity and conductors and insulators in our everyday lives.
With universal design for learning principles incorporated throughout, this comprehensive lab pack is perfect for teachers on a budget who want to make science fun and accessible for all students. Your students are sure to enjoy this investigation and make connections to the real world around them.
Heat Transfer 10 Worksheets and 10 Visual Notes Poster Set: Conduction Convection Radiation Middle School
$7.00
Looking to enhance your middle school students' understanding of the three methods of heat transfer? Our 20+ piece worksheet and infographic poster pack on heat transfer (including convection, conduction, and radiation) is the perfect complement to your thermal energy unit!
Our comprehensive pack includes 10 worksheets with targeted instruction and integrated vocabulary, key concept practice, and visual supports throughout. Students will learn about the science behind convection and its role in driving weather patterns and ocean currents (even how it powers hot air balloons!), as well as conductors and insulators and their common materials, making connections to their daily lives. They'll also explore radiation and its connections to radii, all while being supported by visual aids and graphic organizers.
Our pack also features 10 visually engaging and versatile infographics that can be used as classroom displays, digital notes or inserts for student notebooks. Each type of heat transfer (including convection and radiation in nature and conduction in cooking) has its own set of posters, which includes detailed visual and concise summaries, along with supporting posters for expansion vs. contraction (to support understanding of convection) and conductors vs. insulators (to help students compare, contrast, and categorize).
Answer keys are included, making assessment a breeze. This worksheet and infographic set is perfect as a standalone resource for independent work or sub plans, or as a supplement to your existing thermal energy unit. With our pack, you can ensure that your students have a thorough understanding of heat transfer and its real-world applications.
