In this product, students will learn about thermal energy. In the beginning of the product, matter is reviewed and how matter can be seen in three different forms - solid, liquid, and gas. Students will then review how matter changes. Thermal energy will be introduced in this product. Students will then discuss the meaning of thermal energy, how heat flows from warmer to colder objects and examples will be provided. Students will then be provided with visual examples to help them understand this process. Students will be provided with thermal energy examples and how heat moves. Students will learn there there are different forms of energy such as light, electrical, mechanical, sound, and chemical, and will learn how all of those forms change to thermal energy. Examples along with pictures are provided. Students will also learn the many ways thermal energy is used throughout out day to day life that we don't think about. Throughout the product, students will be asked comprehension questions that include short answer and multiple choice to ensure comprehension.
