heat energy can be generated from different sources; temperature changes may happen when heat is transferred from one object to another
- exploring how we sense heat, and identifying sources of heat such as the Sun, fire, electrical devices and geothermal springs
- recognising that temperature can be measured using a thermometer and, with assistance, measuring what happens when a cold object is placed in direct contact with a warm object, and proposing explanations
- modelling the movement of heat from one object to another using drawing or role-play
- investigating how well heat is transferred by different types of materials such as metals, plastics and ceramics, and identifying how materials are used to keep things hot or cold
- exploring how Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples developed clothing from animal skins such as possum furs and kangaroo-skin cloaks, which trap heat close to the body and keep the wearer warm, and comparing the thermal properties of these materials with other natural fibres such as wool and cotton
- investigating traditional fire-starting methods used by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples and their understandings of the transformation of energy
