Project developed for a top set class.

Students complete a work sheet along side their house.
Final lesson is to write a report on their house.
Lesson plan and power point.
Pupils should have an understanding of particle theory and the movement of thermal energy.
This lesson is designed for a top set year 8 but is adaptable for lower sets.
