Using a recipe to cook with Conduction, Convection, and Radiation
This a 31 slide power point show designed to make conduction, convection and radiation apply to the real life situation of cooking. It does so with a great dose of humor as you can inject teachers' names. The slides are ridiculous, a bit gross, and animated...just the kind of things that kids remember. Project the slides as the kids shout out their favorite (or not) teachers of friends names. Type them into the show on blank lines. Then as you present the show, discuss each heat transfer concept

Build an Atom PhET Virtual Lab
Build an Atom PhET Virtual Lab. There's a lot of these worksheets on the market! But I was never satisfied with what I saw... So I decided to make the virtual lab experience I wanted for my students! This virtual lab is designed to give students the opportunity to practice modeling elements and explore properties like atomic mass and net charge in more depth. The concepts in this unit are difficult for students to visualize, which is why they’ll love the PhET resource! Throughout this five-part
