water-soluble pens are used to make tie-dyed patterns. To teach students the importance of and *Comets GLE 0607.6.1: Analyze SPI 0607.6.1: Use data to ESS1.B Earth and the Solar System Goal: composition of comets. information about the major draw conclusions about Students investigate what comets are, Abstract: components of the universe the major components of where they come from and what they are made the universe of. Students simulate a comet by combining dry ice, water, charcoal, ammonia and dirt. Students watch their comet as it gives off gas. It can be broken with a hammer to observe the inner part of the comet. Dry ice is used to simulate the tail of the comet. Comets and Asteroids are compared. Common Chemicals are listed by their common and chemical names, formula and source. Chemicals *Conduction A shortened version of lesson below. GLE 0507.10.2: Conduct SPI 0507.10.2: Use data PS3.B Conservation of Energy and (Mini-Lesson) experiments on the transfer from an investigation to Energy Transfer of heat energy through determine the method conduction, convection and which heat energy is radiation transferred from one object or material to another *Conduction, GLE 0507.10.2: Conduct SPI 0507.10.2: Use data PS3.B Conservations of Energy and To introduce students to conduction, Goal: Convection and experiments on the transfer from an investigation to Energy Transfer convection and radiation. Radiation of heat energy through determine the method Students discuss the difference between conduction, convection and which heat energy is temperature and heat. Liquid crystal sensors are radiation transferred from one used to help students conduction, “see” object or material to convection and radiation. The liquid crystal another sensor is held beside a lamp to show radiation, a heat pack to illustrate convection. Conduction is visualized using a heat pack and copper, iron and wood strips Students visualize conduction in, using a heat pack as the heat source. Students will observe that the ice on the aluminum melts faster than on the wood or Styrofoam.
