Practice thermal energy transfer with ELL-friendly definitions. Pair Tier 3 words with pictures and keep verbs simple: move, change, collect, go.
Standards
- MS-PS3-3 — Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
- MS-PS3-4 — Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
- MS-ESS2-6 — Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates.
NGSS = Next Generation Science Standards. This vocabulary is also written to support WIDA's Standard 4 (Science) English Language Development standard.
Beginner ELL Core Idea
- Heat moves air and water.
- Heat moves from warm to cool.
- Wind moves because air heats and cools.
- Water moves because of heat and density.
