Product Descriptions:

1. Temperatures Worksheet: Before middle school students can master NGSS MS-PS3-4 (thermal energy, heat), they need to understand TEMPERATURE! This activity familiarizes kids with some everyday Celsius temperatures and provides practice for temperature conversions.
2. Particle Motion Worksheet: Use this worksheet as you introduce particle motion due to thermal energy. It reinforces the basics – that adding thermal energy makes particles move faster and spread apart, and that removing thermal energy makes particles slow down and contract. Each question requires a bit of diagram analysis or critical thinking!
3. Thermal Expansion Worksheet: Section One focuses on different things that have to be engineered with thermal expansion in mind – bridges, telephone wires, and railroad tracks. Section Two includes a short text passage and follow-up questions about fire sprinklers, many of which work because of thermal expansion. Section Three has a text passage about how engineers took thermal expansion into account when designing the Trans-Alaska pipeline.
4. Heat Transfer Worksheet: 4 CONTENT-DENSE PAGES that reflect NGSS RIGOR – 25-question standards-based heat worksheet for homework, standardized test prep, or class review. There are many diagrams and graphs to analyze, making this much more than a definitions worksheet. 23 multiple-choice and 2 open-response questions cover convection, conduction, radiation, and equilibrium.

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.
• NGSS MS-PS3-4: Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, type of matter, mass, and change in temperature of the sample.
