AC9S3U03 Year 3 Science

Content descriptor identify sources of heat energy and examine how temperature changes when heat energy is transferred from one object to another

Elaborations

• • Elaboration exploring how we sense heat and identifying sources of heat such as the sun, fire, electrical devices and geothermal springs
• • Elaboration recognising that changes in heat energy can be measured using a thermometer
• • Elaboration observing and, with assistance, measuring, what happens when a cold object is placed in direct contact with a warm object and proposing explanations
• • Elaboration modelling the movement of heat from one object to another using drawing or role-play
• • Elaboration investigating how well heat is transferred by different types of materials such as metals, plastics and ceramics and identifying how materials are used to keep things hot and cold
• • Elaboration exploring how First Nations Australians developed clothing from animal skins such as possum furs and kangaroo skin cloaks that trap heat close to the body to stay warm
