Hot and cold
Where does heat come from, and where does it go?
Three low-cost lessons. Students watch a warm drink cool on the iPad and read its temperatures, race ice cubes to find where heat comes from, then feel heat moving between warm and cold water and spoons. Lesson 1 needs only iPads; lessons 2 and 3 use ice, cups, warm tap water and spoons.
