In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.
