Conduction, Convection & Radiation Student Lessons

Directions: For this assignment you are going to be taking some of the concepts that we have been discussing in class and creating an individual lesson for the class about an everyday use of conduction, convection and radiation.  Your lesson must be created entirely by you, and it will need to include the following:

  1. A detailed explanation of the concept that you have been assigned, including examples.
  2. A technological, natural or everyday example that uses the concept, and how it is used (everyday applications of this concept).
  3. A visual presentation/video (created by you!) that illustrates the concept that you are teaching.
  4. A demonstration or practical showing the concept that you are teaching.
  5. A worksheet with questions that the students will need to answer based on your lesson (at least five questions).

You will need to pick a technological, natural or everyday use of conduction, convection or radiation.  Some examples could include (but are not limited to):

  1. Cooking technologies (convection ovens, conducting metals, etc)
  2. Ocean currents
  3. Wireless technologies (electromagnetic radiation)
  4. Solar radiation

Everyone in class will have a different technological, natural or everyday use.  Each lesson should be 5 – 8 minutes, although the worksheet could take students a little bit longer.

Make sure that you look at the Assessment Criteria carefully, and good luck!
