Heat Transfer
by Anonymous
Heat copper, iron, glass, and wood rods and move the heat source to see how conduction differs from convection.
About this app
Heat Transfer is an interactive science learning game about conduction and convection. Learners heat copper, iron, glass, and wood bars together and observe the order in which butter melts and falls as a comparison of heat conduction. A separate convection activity shows circulation in heated water and demonstrates how to position a heater or air conditioner to warm or cool a room, followed by a scored challenge quiz.
Use cases
- Elementary students learning about heat and energy
- Teachers demonstrating conduction with a visual experiment
- Classroom activities comparing materials and heat transfer
- Independent practice distinguishing conduction from convection
Features
- Simultaneously heats copper, iron, glass, and wood bars
- Uses melting butter as a visual indicator of heat arrival
- Shows convection in water with left, middle, or right heat sources
- Lets learners place a heater or air conditioner on the floor or ceiling
- Includes challenges about conduction, convection, materials, and heat movement
- Tracks score, streak, and stars in the quiz
