It's getting hot in here!!!

Today's learning target was...the student will be able to explain the concept of heat.

As a class, we decided on the main ideas...

• Heat energy is kinetic energy (which means the movement of molecules!)
• Molecules move more rapidly in hotter material & slower in cooler material
• Temperature is the measurement of heat (or the speed of the molecules moving!)

The second part of class students were introduced to Climographs. Climographs are a graphic way of displaying climate information, specifically, average temperature and precipitation. Climographs are valuable tools in studying climate, but also can be used to infer connections between climate and human conditions. In this lesson, students learned about how to read and analyze climographs.
