| Program Description | Students will gain an understanding of conduction, convection and radiation. During the lesson students will participate in three short experiments that illustrate heat transfer. They will then participate in a discussion that explores heat transfer in buildings and help diagnose why a house is cold and drafty. This program is taught by an energy specialist!! | |
| Program Format | 1. Briefly discuss what an Energy Specialist is and what they do. 2. Participants conduct experiments that demonstrate conduction, convection and radiation. 3. We view pictures from a thermal imaging camera and discuss how heat moves through a building. 4. The participants become detectives. They are giving information about a home and asked to determine why it is cold and drafty in the winter and hot in the summer. 5. We will label home defects using convection, conduction and radiation. 6. Time is given for questions and answers. | |
| Objectives | 1. Participants will be able to list the three types of heat transfer. 2. Participants will use problem solving to determine how heat is moving through a building. 3. Participants will apply conduction, convection and radiation to a practical application. | |
