LP 2 – Transfer of Thermal Energy: Plan and carry out investigations to describe molecular motion during conduction, convection and radiation.

This learning resource focuses on the concepts of thermal energy and molecular motion, emphasizing investigations related to conduction, convection, and radiation. Students are expected to design experiments that illustrate how molecules behave during these heat transfer processes, as well as compare and contrast the different methods of heat transfer. The document includes background information on kinetic energy and thermal energy, vocabulary definitions, investigation lab components, and prompts for data analysis and reflection. It specifically guides students through planning, hypothesizing, and observing molecular motion to deepen their understanding of thermal energy in real-world contexts.
