PRODUCT SUMMARY
We know that boiling water is hot, but did you know that an ice cube also contains heat? In All About Heat, kids will learn that all objects have heat energy, it's just that some have more than others. Kids will discover what heat energy is and how we use it, while the host's humorous antics help kids understand how heat moves through conduction, convection and radiation. Melting point and boiling point are explained with colorful footage and dynamic graphics, while memorable examples teach kids how adding heat causes most objects to expand, while removing heat makes most objects contract. An engaging demonstration helps children see convection in action. Young viewers will also learn how a thermometer works by constructing their own simple instrument. Part of the Energy for Children Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
