Heat experiments

We performed this simple heat conduction experiment with the help of the book Air is Not Oxygen! Check out our review!

Teach kids about temperature as they perform easy science experiments with hot and cold water and the our free printable.

How heat affects things is sometimes difficult to understand. This simple heat experiment shows how heat causes molecules to move faster. {Plus kids think it looks cool.}

We focus on guiding the teacher and student in conducting experiments perfect for classrooms, science clubs, science camps, homeschooling, and STEM.

**Be sure to Repin it!** In this experiment for kids, we learn about conducting heat and how various materials conduct heat differently. Which material conducts heat better, wood, plastic, or metal? #easyscience #sciencefun #simplescience #sciencelab #conduction

Six free, hands-on STEM activities to learn about thermal energy and heat

Show how heat moves with hot water, a balloon, or a Bunsen burner Whether you realize it or not, heat conduction is an important part of our lives. You probably use it every single day when you're cooking a meal or using a radiator. The...

Explore temperature and heat transfer with these great temperature experiments for kids.

The heat of the flame increases the air pressure in the glass which forces some air out. The flame goes out once all the oxygen is used up and the air cools and contracts. The air pressure outside the glass is now higher than inside and so water is sucked into the class until the air pressure is equalized.

What better way to learn about heat transfer than to experience it firsthand?! Basic thermodynamic concepts provide a fantastic foundation for students learning chemistry and physics. One of my favorite station labs of the year are my heat stations and the learning from these stations lasts the whole year long! Through hands-on phenomena, students explore conduction, convection, radiation, and other concepts that govern the behavior of heat. Over the years, I have adapted these stations to…
