Heat Transfer Explorer, Years 9–10
Students watch heat move by conduction, convection and radiation, each driven by a physics simulation beneath an age-appropriate interface. The full interactive is available to licensed Education Universe users.
Years 9–10Explorer
Learning outcomes
- Distinguish conduction, convection and radiation.
- Explain heat transfer using the particle model.
Teaching guidance
Ask students to explain an everyday example of each type of heat transfer.
