Our sixth grade science classes are finishing their unit on heat energy for standards:
6.P.3.1 Illustrate the transfer of heat energy from warmer objects to cooler ones using examples
of conduction, radiation, and convection.
6.P.3.3 Explain the suitability of materials for use in technological design based on a response to heat
(to include conduction, expansion, and contraction) and electrical energy (conductors and
insulators).
With many thanks to Brian Hoyle, commercial hot air balloon pilot, the students had a unique, hands-on experience learning the principles of heat transfer through the science of hot air balloons. Take a look at our highlights from the day!
