Heat Energy
One of the most important types of energy on Earth is heat energy. A great deal of heat energy comes from the Sun's light hitting Earth. Other sources include geothermal energy, friction, and even living things. This unit helps students understand what heat energy is, how it is transferred, how it is measured, and how insulation can keep heat in or out.
