These heat notes will introduce particle motion and heat with TWO simple yet engaging presentations! Students will view a presentation (provided in both PPT or Google Slides) as they fill in blanks on a corresponding Cloze notes worksheet, first on the topic of particle motion and second on the topic of the 3 types of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation).

Related Standards:
- NGSS MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
- NGSS MS-PS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
