NGSS MS./HS. Plate Tectonics. Convection Lab.

Middle School Lesson Heat Transfer: No Magic About It Students learn the scientific concepts of temperature, heat and the transfer of heat through conduction, convection and radiation, which are illustrated by comparison to magical spells found in the Harry Potter books. Small groups of students use unique LAB-AIDS®/SEPUP materials to investigate convection currents in water.

(Remember, we learned that energy transfer is when energy moves from one thing or place to another, but the energy type stays the same). This is called heat transfer. Students pretty much create a lava lamp and relate it to the cycling of mantle material through the Earth! As you read about the three types of heat transfer… Earth's Systems: Convection Currents Lab, aligns with Middle School and High School Earth's Systems NGSS standards.

Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. Worksheets are Convection and the mantle, Convection lesson overview, Convection connection, Mantle convection work, Observing convection currents, Convection current, Work methods of heat transfer conduction, Lesson 5 conduction convection radiation. They use their experiences to develop an operational understanding of the relationship between water temperature and its movement. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery. Modeling Convection Currents (Developed by SEPUP) kit #436S.

22-30 (5 weeks) In the Plate Tectonics unit, students explore the structure of the earth - the core, mantle, and crust - and learn how the slow movements of large plates of the earth’s surface help shape its features, including continents and oceans. Teacher prep: -Modeling on a smart board is suggested -Copies Worksheets are Work methods of heat transfer conduction, Work methods of heat transfer conduction, Lesson 5 conduction convection radiation, Convection lesson overview, Convection and the mantle, Convection current, Convection and wind levels, Lab activity heat temperature and conduction.
