Students find vocabulary in their Physical iScience book and include a definition, picture, and possible example.
If you ever find yourself stranded in the snowy Arctic (or bored in Minecraft), you’re gonna need to know how to build an igloo. But how can building a house made of ice keep you warm? The science behind building an igloo is the same reason that otters and reindeer don't freeze to death!

Bridges. Bridges don't deal well with temperature changes. In order to combat this, engineers have come up with some work arounds that allow bridges to flex as they expand or contract. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about temperature and the ideal gas law. Also, we figure out how much air is in your car.

Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks about the Physics of heat!

Bill Nye the Science Guy explains what heat is and about explores its three forms: conduction, convection, and radiation. This live-action, fast-paced program also features comedy, music videos, interviews with real scientists, and hands-on experiments to make the concepts presented understandable and fun.

Safety Smart Science with Bill Nye the Science Guy: Fire
Bill Nye the Science Guy gives tips on how to be smart and safe around fire in this program. Students will learn the science of fire, the roles that heat, oxygen and fuel play in igniting a fire, and methods of heat transfer. Please note that all demonstrations in the program were conducted in controlled settings under strict safety guidelines.

In Heat, a visiting inventor discovers just how useful the island's mammoth population is in keeping things warm one freezing winter day on Mammoth Island! The warm-blooded creatures help heat water, press clothes, warm beds and keep the village sauna hot and steamy. Heat is energy that comes from the movement of the atoms and molecules that make up everything around us. The inventor reveals that heat can travel from place to place in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. And he also reveals his amazement at the islanders' ingenious use of mammoths to keep warm! Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay.

What is heat energy, where does it come from and how does it relate to chemical energy? Heat & Chemical Energy teaches students that heat energy comes from the motion of chemical atoms, and chemical energy is stored in the bonds that link atoms together. Discover how chemical reactions can give off heat energy and how heat can help release the stored chemical energy in fuel. Learn how heat travels through engaging demonstrations that illustrate the methods of conduction, convection and radiation. Students investigate how scientists measure calories -- the energy stored in food -- by constructing a calorimeter and burning a peanut. Part of the multivolume Energy in Action Video Series.
