1. Why is it so HOT here??
Covering standard E 12 A.4

2. Covering standard E 12 A.4
E 12 A.4 Student know convection and radiation play important roles in moving heat energy in the earths system. E/S

3. CCSD Earth Science Objectives
Syllabus Objectives 4.7, 4.8, 13.5, 13.6
4.8.A SUGGESTION: Demonstrate energy transfer by the following:
a. Radiation
b. Conduction
c. Convection
4.8.B SUGGESTION: Refer to activity Equilibrium from the Earth Science Activities book.

4. Student Misconception 1
Heat acts as a fluid. (Erickson & Tiberghein, 1985; Stepans, 1994). 

5. Student Misconception 2
Heat is a substance which can be added to or removed from an object (Stepans, 1994; Watts, 1983).  Heat makes things rise (Stepans, 1994).  Cold is opposite to heat (Stepans, 1994). 

6. Why would they think that?
Possible source of misconception: nonscientific use of the terms heat and temperature add confusion to this topic. Kinetic molecular theory is too abstract and has little effect at transforming students' ideas.
