Schedule:
• Energy Movement
Notes
Objective:
•I can understand the
different processes that
cause energy to move
Homework
• Energy Movement
Foldable
Please have on desk:
• 9.3 RSG
4.3 The transfer of energy as
heat can be controlled.
• Energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.
• Different materials are used to control the transfer of energy.
Types of Energy Transfer
Conduction
• Energy transferred by
direct contact
Convection
• Energy flows directly
from warmer object to
cooler object
• Occurs in gases and
liquids
• Movement of large
number of particles in
same direction
• Can occur within one
object
• Occurs due to
difference in density
• Continues until object
temperatures are equal
• Cycle occurs while
temperature
differences exist
Radiation
• Energy transferred by
electromagnetic waves
such as light,
microwaves, and
infrared radiation
• All objects radiate
energy
• Can transfer energy
through empty space
4.3 The transfer of energy as
heat can be controlled.
• Energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.
• Different materials are used to control the transfer of energy.
SIMULATION
Identify examples of
conduction, convection,
or radiation.

3. What are poor conductors of
energy?
4. What do two objects need
for conduction to occur?

Build a Thermos
(remember to create your own title
for your final formal lab report)
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to build
the best device for keeping liquids hot or
cold
Background information
• Write a background information paragraph
that is no shorter than 8 sentences, you
may use multiple paragraphs.
• Include the following:
– What is a thermos? Include the words heat,
temperature, insulator, radiation and
conduction in your answer.
Hypothesis
Write a hypothesis using If…, Then…,
Because….
Example: If (material, method) is used to
create a thermos, then the thermos will
maintain a waters temperature the best,
because…….
Variables
• Manipulated- (what you are changing)
• Responding- (how you are measuring the
change)
• Controlled- (what things are you keeping
the same)
Materials
• List materials you may use to make a
thermos
• You will be providing your own materials
• Commonly used materials may include
water bottle, tin can, basic house hold
items for insulators (think about what is
around your house that you can bring to
use), tape.

Entry Task
For Your Thermos Lab…..
• Write a background information
paragraph that is no shorter
than 8 sentences, you may use
multiple paragraphs.
• Include the following:
– What is a thermos? Include
the words heat,
temperature, insulator,
radiation and conduction in
your answer.
Schedule:
• Finish Pre-Lab
• Build your thermos
Objective: I can understand
the transfer of energy as
heat can be controlled
Homework:
• Make sure everything from
your pre-lab is completed
(need to have title
skeleton of data table)
Please have on your desk:
• Materials for building
thermos
Procedure
• Create Step by Step instructions for building
your thermos (Your thermos can’t be any larger
than 30 cm X 30 cm X 30 cm).
• You will be taking water temperature
measurements every two minutes for a total of
ten minutes when testing hot water
• You will be taking water temperature
measurements every two minutes for a total of
ten minutes when testing cold water
• You will share data with two other groups and
record their data to obtain data for 3 thermos.

Thursday, October 4th
Entry Task
We will be going over the
procedure and making
any last minute changes
later in the period. Just
write down the
objective and homework
for now.
Schedule:
• Test your Thermos
Objective: I can understand the
effects of a thermos (insulators)
on liquids
Homework
• Create a graph to represent
your data
Please have on desk:
• Thermos and lab write up (data
tables)
Graph
• Create a line graph that contains two lines;
one line for Hot water and one line for
Cold water.
• Use all the data from your thermos ONLY.
• Create two more graphs for the other two
groups
• The graphs should show the change in
temperature over time.
Friday, October 5th
Entry Task
Share your graph with someone
from a different group.
1. Explain how the graph was
made (if it includes everything
that needs to be included)
2. Compare the data that was
recorded. (similarities,
differences?)
3. Determine who’s graph shows
the most efficient thermos
(had the least amount of
temperature difference).
