The theory lesson contains an introductory three slides explaining that the heat energy we feel from the sun is a type of electromagnetic radiation called infra-red. Infra-red is shown in the context of the EM spectrum - the majority of which is invisible to the human eye.
Slides 5 - 9 show examples of commercial applications of infra-red radiation.
Slide 10 is the book-work reference.
Slide 11 contains the hyperlink to a 20 question KAHOOT quiz on Convection, Conduction and Radiation- to assess what your students have learnt over the past two lessons.

The theory lesson contains an introductory four slides giving examples of Convection in air currents, central heating radiators and ovens.
Slide 5 gives an example of Convection in water - boiling.
All the convection slides are under the sub-heading "heat energy piggybacks on particles" to help reinforce the concept of convection regardless of the liquid or gaseous medium.
Slide 6 gives an example of conduction and makes the link with metals (as good conductors of thermal energy).
The conduction slide has the sub-heading "heat energy is contagious" to help reinforce the concept of thermal energy moving through a solid.
Slide 7 is an excellent visual summary of heat transfers.
Slide 8 is a book-work reference.
Slide 9 is a reminder/extension to the supporting Keyword search (based on the language around this topic).

This lesson is differentiated to cater to a less academic audience than the original texts were intended. The Activate 1 book has a reading age of 11-12 years, however, many year 7 students have a reading age below their chronological age and this Presentation was written with those students in mind.
This single lesson includes a KAHOOT plenary.
An excellent resource for Science teachers who want a colourful engaging lesson written by an experienced science teacher. The slides are colour coded by topic, contain All/Most/Some differentiated learning objectives, the current date and with 28-32 point Ariel font to enhance legibility.
The Author has over 20 years’ experience of working in a range of Schools and was awarded a Master’s Degree in 2008 in “Education and technology in Science” by Bristol University. This lesson (and scheme of work) has been successfully trialed in a state Academy and has been used (and improved each time) over three different classes.
