Students observ the cooling and warming of room temperature, hot, and ice cold cans of water by measuring the change in temperature over time. They then attempt to develop explanations for the observations made and apply their findings...

Young scholars participate in an online activity to determine how objects heat and cool. They determine what objects best serve as thermal insulators.

Students investigate melting and cooling in a range of materials.

Pupils participate in an online lesson to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on water.

Student teams design insulated beverage bottles in this challenge, and test them to determine which materials work best at insulating hot water to keep it warm for as long as possible.

Learn about kitchen chemistry alongside Ruff Ruffman. Students can use the videos, games, and activities from The Ruff Ruffman Show to discover how by investigating solids and liquids and exploring heating and cooling, science can help...
