The student knows ways that heat can move from one object to another.
ACTIVITY ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The following suggestions are intended to help identify major concepts covered in the activity that may need extra reinforcement. The goal is to provide opportunities to assess student progress without creating the need for a separate, formal assessment session (or activity) for each of the 40 hands-on activities at this grade level.
1. Ask, Why do scientists control all the variables except one in an experiment?(If many
variables were allowed to change, the scientists wouldn"t know which variable was responsible for the results.)
2.Use the Activity Sheet(s) to assess student understanding of the major
concepts in the activity. In addition to the above assessment suggestions, the questions in bold and tasks that students perform throughout the activity provide opportunities to identify areas that may require additional review before proceeding further with the activity. 181

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Heatis a form of energy resulting from the
movement of the molecules of matter in a substance. The faster the molecules move, 2020

Heat Transfer
Heat Transfer
4 © Delta Education. Photocopying and distribution prohibited. the more heat energy there is in the substance. Temperatureis a measure of the amount of heat in a substance.
Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler
objects. Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conductionis the transfer of heat energy from molecule to molecule or atom to atom through a substance. Heat moves up a metal spoon in a cup of hot coffee through conduction. Conduction is most effective in solids but also occurs in fluids.
Convectionis the transfer of heat energy by
the movement of currents of the heated matter. Heat leaves the coffee cup as the currents of steam and air rise. Convection occurs in both liquids and gases and sometimes in solids.
Radiationis the movement of heat energy
through empty space by means of electromagnetic waves. Sunlight is a form of radiation that travels through the vacuum of space to our planet without the aid of solids, liquids, or gases.
In this activity, students will observe the
movement of heat energy through a solid by means of conduction.Activity Sheet 20, Part A ?

Heat Transfer Through a Metal Spoon
How does the length of a metal spoon affect how long it takes for heat to move up it and melt a bit of margarine?
Sample answer: Heat is a form of energy that
results from the movement of the small particles of matter in a substance. The faster the particles move, the more heat energy there is in the substance.
Sample answer: Conduction is the transfer of
heat energy from particle to particle through a substance. Answers will vary. Students may suggest that heat will move up the shorter spoon and melt the margarine on it more quickly than on the longer spoon.
Sample answers: temperature of the
water for both spoons; the material the spoons are made of; the amount of margarine on each spoon the length of the spoon the time it takes for the margarine to melt and slide down the spoon

Additional Information
Give students time to research the following
terms: heat, conduction.Have them record the information they collect in step 3 on the activity sheet. Students can use reference books or the
Internet to research terms.
Gather students around the distribution
table. Show students the two spoons that each team will use for this activity. Ask, How are these spoons like each other? How are they different from each other?
Write the term hypothesison the board.
Explain that a hypothesisis an educated
guess about what the answer to a stated problem might be.
Ask, What do you think the answer to your
stated problem might be?Have students record their hypotheses in step 4 of the activity sheet. Students should point out that both spoons are made of metal, but their handles are of different lengths.
Write the following terms on the board:
controlled variable, dependent variable, and independent variable.
Explain that a variableis anything that can
change in an experiment. Controlled variablesare variables that are kept the same. In any experiment, all the variables are controlled except one. The variable that is not controlled is called the independent variable.
The dependent variableis the variable that
changes in response to changes in the independent variable.
Discuss the role of variables in this
experiment. Explain that students will place a small amount of margarine on the end of each spoon and place the spoons in hot water. They will measure how long it takes the margarine on each spoon to melt and slide down the spoon. Ask, What variables are controlled in this experiment?
Help students see that variables such as the
material the spoons are made of, the amount of margarine placed on both spoons, and the temperature of the water are controlled
because they are the same for both spoons.Encourage class discussion. Help studentslook for factors that are the same for bothspoons.

Additional Information
Ask, What is the independent variable in
this experiment?Help students see that the length of the spoon is the independent variable.
Ask, What is the dependent variable in this
experiment?Help students see that the amount of time it takes the margarine to melt is the dependent variable.
Have students record the variables for this
experiment in step 5 of the activity sheet.Students should note that the only difference between the spoons is their length.
Divide students into teams of four. Ask each
group to examine the materials on the distribution table and list which materials they will need for their experiment. Have students record the list of materials in step 6 on Part B of the activity sheet.Each team of four will need a beaker of hot water, two metal spoons of different lengths, a plastic knife, a small amount of margarine, and access to a watch or clock with a second hand. They will also need paper towels for clean-up.
Give students the following directions for
doing the experiment: Use the plastic knife to place a small amount of margarine on the end of each spoon handle. Make sure to place the same amount on each one. Place the bowls of the spoons in the beaker. Make sure that they do not touch each other. See Figure 20-1.
Record the start time. Carefully watch the
margarine on the spoons. When the margarine melts and slides down a spoon, record the end time. Continue observing until the margarine on the other spoon has slid down it.
After collecting all of your data, calculate the
amount of time it took for the margarine on each spoon to melt and slide down.
Have students write out their procedure on
the activity sheet.Review with students which variables arebeing controlled in the experiment.

Additional Information
Write the term dataon the board. Explain
that dataare observations and measurements that are collected in an experiment. Data can be observations that you write down in sentences. Or they can be numbers, as in the time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Tell students to conduct their experiments
and record their data in step 8 on Part C of the activity sheet.
As needed, help students calculate the
elapsed time needed for the margarine on each spoon to melt (end time minus start time). Also help them construct a bar graph of their results in step 8 of the activity sheet.Fill each team"s beaker half full with hot water.
Data should include the time of starting
observations and the time that each bit of margarine slides down the spoon.
The bar graph will compare the amount of
time it took for the margarine to melt on each spoon.
After everyone has completed their bar
graphs, ask, On which spoon did the margarine melt and slide down first?
Ask, Why do you think the margarine
melted on the spoons?
Ask, Why do you think the margarine
melted on the short spoon first?
Write the word conduction on the board.
Explain that heat moved from the hot water
to each spoon and up its handle to the margarine, causing it to melt. This process of heat transfer through materials is known as conduction.Since there is less distance for the heat to travel to reach the margarine on the short spoon, that margarine melted first.
Write the term conclusionon the board.
Explain that a conclusionis a statement that
describes what an experiment showed, based Students should have observed that the margarine melted first on the shorter spoon.

Connections
Science Challenge
Have students repeat the experiment, but this
time have them use three spoons of the same length but of different materials-metal, plastic, and wood. Guide them to conclude that heat travels easily through some materials but not through others.
Science Extension
?Have students repeat the experiment with spoons of different thicknesses. Have them predict and compare the rate of conduction in a thin metal spoon and a thick metal spoon. Have them make a bar graph of their results. ?To model how heat energy moves by conduction, have students sit in rows. Tell all those in the first row to start wiggling their fingers. Have them keep wiggling their fingers. Then have the students in the next row begin wiggling their fingers, and so on until all the students are wiggling their fingers. Explain that the particles in the spoon also wiggle-a very little bit- and that the wiggling increases as the heat moves up the spoon. ?Have students observe the movement of heat energy by convection. Have them cut a spiral out of paper and dangle it over a heat source. The movement of the spiral indicates movement of the air.
Science and Language Arts
Ask students to identify the root of the word
conduction. Have them suggest various meanings for the word conduct, including leading an instrumental or vocal group and guiding someone along the way. Then have them write sentences using each of these meanings.
Science, Technology, and Society
Explain to students that materials through
which heat travels easily are called conductors. Materials through which heat does not easily pass are called insulators.
Have students suggest ways that conductors
and insulators might be used in everyday life.
Have them investigate which materials are
used as conductors and which as insulators and where they are used.
