=======Reflections======== **Student 1**\\ Learned: Different materials transfer heat more and less easily.\\ Wants to Know: What's going on when you touch the metal compared to when you touch Styrofoam?\\ \\ **Student 2**\\ Learned: Powerful ideas about why materials are all the same temperature but feel different.\\ \\ **Student 3**\\ Learned: All of the new powerful ideas.\\ Wants to Know: Why is it that the metal conducts heat so quickly?\\ \\ **Student 4**\\ Learned: Conductivity is a property of all of the objects.\\ Wants to Know: Why does the density effect the conductivity of various materials?\\ \\ **Student 5**\\ Learned: Different materials transfer heat in different ways.\\ Wants to Know: I'm wondering what we'll be using the temperature probes for.\\ \\ **Student 6**\\ Learned: I was reminded that things that seem obvious to us may be confusing for kids.\\ Wants to Know: Can you use the probes in ocean waters in different places?\\ \\ **Student 7**\\ Learned: I learned about ways to control water temperatures.\\ Wants to Know: I want to relate light and temperature together- I thought lighter surfaces would be warmer.\\ \\ **Student 8**\\ Learned: Difference between insulators and conductors.\\ Wants to Know: I would like to use a pair of thermal goggles to see how heat and energy are transferred.\\ \\ **Student 9**\\ Learned: Even though the metal plate feels colder to us, they're actually the same temperature as the wood and Styrofoam.\\ Wants to Know: Why does this happen?\\ \\ **Student 10**\\ Learned: Materials' ability to absorb and conduct heat depends on conductivity.\\ Wants to Know: Density is a separate concept from conductivity.\\ \\ **Student 11**\\ Learned: Metal conducts heat more quickly than wood or Styrofoam.\\ Wants to Know: If cold blooded animals could be a heat source as well.\\ \\ **Student 12**\\ Learned: Metal conducts heat rapidly.\\ Wants to Know: More about the rate of change.\\
