Did you miss a day of school? Looking to get caught up?
Missing your copy of an assignment from science class?
Take a look below for some info to get back on track.
***IMPORTANT - this info is just a watered-down reminder of what we talked about in class. It is your responsibility to take part as much as possible, do the readings, look up the information and complete the assignments with detail in order to be successful. ***

1. WARM UP! LET'S START THINKING ABOUT HEAT!
Use the knowledge you acquire from the Bill Nye episode to complete the T/F page below. After finishing, place your answers in the class Hand In Bin. Yes, it is worth marks. :)
Next, use the heat terms page to guide you in finding important vocabulary that we will make use of in this unit. Some of these terms will be included in questions on our heat unit test. You can use classroom books, your textbook or trustworthy internet sources to help you along the way. Keep the terms in your notes when finished.
2. EXPLAINING HOT AND COLD
![Picture](/uploads/3/9/5/3/39532231/7322875.jpg?250)
What is heat? How does heat affect matter and the world we live in? Scientists have tried to understand the causes of warmth and coldness for a long time. Eventually, they developed several explanations for these ideas. Today, scientists explain heat using a theory called the particle theory of matter.
Read more about heat and the particle theory of matter below. Complete the reading questions afterward.
3. DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEAT TRANSFER
![Picture](/uploads/3/9/5/3/39532231/9636295.jpg?245)
Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. If there is a temperature difference between two objects, heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to lower system.
Heat Transfer Mini-Lessons (Conduction, Convection, Radiation)
With your group, take time to research your type of heat transfer. On Monday, May 11th your group will present a mini-lesson on your heat type to the rest of the grade 7's. It is your responsibility to clearly explain the concept, give examples and make the idea sticky (make it understandable and memorable!). You can make use of classroom books/resources and websites you find trustworthy.
Include in your mini lesson:
- A poster on chart paper to help your learners visualize what you are trying to teach them.
- A one page set of clear notes on your topic. I will photocopy one for each member of the class.
- Be ready to present your information and answer questions from the audience.
- Content:
How does the heat exchange work?
What happens?
Examples of how it is used in our world.
1-2 other interesting facts about it.

UPDATE! Thanks for your work and cooperation while creating your lesson! You now have a copy of the notes for each type of heat transfer, and you can check out the posters below for reminders while studying.

4. THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
![Picture](/uploads/3/9/5/3/39532231/9961613.jpg?250)
Materials expand or contract when subjected to changes in temperatures. Most materials expand when they are heated, and contract when they are cooled. These expansions and contractions result in many changes in our world.
1) Complete the "Living with Thermal Expansion and Contraction" reading. In your notes, jot down your thoughts on three different examples of both expansion and contraction in the lives of humans.
2) After you finish our Expansion and Contraction experiment, complete your lab report assignment and hand in by Tuesday, May 19th.
