Lesson 1
What did we look at last week?
L.O: To explore
different thermal
insulators
What are the different properties of materials?
What key words do you remember?
S.C: I must be able to
explain what are
thermal insulators.
I should be able to
know which is the best
thermal insulator.
I could explain
variables that effect
different thermal
insulators
Keywords: materials, thermal
insulators
Using your tablets lets us find what thermal insulators mean…….

Some materials do not let heat
Travel through them. These are
Called thermal insulators. e.g.
Plastic cup, wooden handle,
Oven glove and thermal vest.

What are thermal (heat)
insulators?
Could you give
examples
Thermal insulators are good for keeping
Heat out as well as in. Can you and your
Partner think of any examples?
Has more layers to keep
you warm therefore
traps more body heat
L.O: To explore
different thermal
insulators
When you wear a thick coat on
a cold day,
what provides the heat that
keeps you warm?
S.C: I must be able to
explain what are
thermal insulators.
I should be able to
know which is the best
thermal insulator.
I could explain
variables that effect
different thermal
insulators
Your body heat is not
lost and therefore it
insulates against
cold air
Keywords: materials, thermal
insulators
Usually made of cotton and
wool
because they are very good
insulators
PLENARY:
 Level 3
List three thermal insulators
 Level 4
Describe the properties of thermal (heat)
insulators
 Level 5
Explain why some materials are better at keeping
you warm (insulated) than others.

With your talk partner look at these containers.
They will be filled with hot water. Which ones do
you think are insulators that will keep the water
warmer for longer?
How will you know
Which containers will
keep
the water warm
Lesson 2
L.O: To explore
different thermal
insulators
We will be finding out which material is the best thermal insulator and which
material will keep water warm the longest
• You will need a thermometer for measuring
the temperature

explain what are
thermal insulators.

variables that effect

• You will need to decide how often I need to
measure the temperature. (Every minute or
every 5 minutes)
