This online resource helps teach the transference of heat to Year 3s.
Developed by Science ASSIST, this Connected Learning Experience (CLE) focuses on heat transfer and heat insulators designed for younger students.
It also includes examples of how the investigations and activities can be adjusted to cater for students with diverse needs so they can access and participate as well.
