Convection and Conduction!

 Convention and Conduction are passing on heat energy (heat transfer), when they have heat the energy/particles are moving fast and faster

When an object is heated up, the particles in it start moving faster as they gain energy, These particles also try to spread out as the gaps between particles gets bigger

If an object is heated from one end, the particles can transfer heat along, this is CONDUCTION!

Objects which are bad at passing on heat are thermal insulators, an example of this is a blanket, and jackets, what they do is they create a layer trapping heat

Examples of a thermal conductor (can pass on heat) is a stoves and pans

Examples of convection (heated stuff rises, cold stuff sinks) is hot air balloon, soup in a pot


Experiment: when we light the teabag on fire they get hot and spread out and they are less dense, which means its light and that means its going up, then they get cold so the particles compact and they get more dense making the bag heavy and fall down

That is convection

All about denim!

 This term we have been learning about up cycling and reusing worn jeans. Our task was to make a project out of these worn jeans and use as much of the jean as we can. I decided to make a Tote Bag with embroidery on in. Here it is!



 I am very proud of it but I could've done better!
