heat

Examines the science of matter, energy, and heat and how they apply to everyday life.

Looks at thermodynamics and converting heat into energy.

An introduction to heat that uses experiments and easy-to-follow text to help readers understand the principles of heat, how it is made, how different kinds of matter conduct heat, and other related topics.

"The sun gives off heat to keep plants and animals warm and alive. Sometimes the sun can be too hot and it is necessary to find a less sunny area. Shade can come from nature or can be manmade. This title includes science and reading activities and a word list"--.

An almost unbearably hot day of one hundred degrees is transformed as raindrops fall one by one, culminating in a downpour.

Jip and Jam are outside where it is hot. What will they do? Find out in this A-level decodable chapter book for early readers.

"When aspiring young scientists heat up one of their favorite meals or warm themselves by a campfire, they may wonder what invisible forces are at work. This . . . title will not only explain these forces but will also allow students to experience them! First . . . it explains key ideas of heat and energy, such as the three main ways heat travels. Then students are challenged to think like a scientist as they learn about the scientific method. Through this viewpoint, readers are then guided through 11 . . . experiments that range from a conductor contest to making ice cream in a bag at room temperature! Each activity features . . . illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and an explanation of important STEM concepts"--Provided by publisher.

Animals have adapted in ways to survive hot weather. This book is an introduction to animal adaptations.

"Introduces the reader to heating and cooling"--Provided by publisher.

Text and illustrations present ten hands-on science experiments using heat and cold.
