Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of thermal energy and its importance in our daily lives. Engage students by asking them to think about how they feel when they touch a warm cup of tea or a cold metal spoon.

Explain the relationship between particle motion and thermal energy. Use examples like hot coffee and cold soda to illustrate how thermal energy affects temperature.

Introduce the concept of heat transfer and how thermal energy moves from hot to cold regions using examples such as a metal spoon in hot tea.

Watch the video 'Heat Transfer – Conduction, Convection and Radiation' to understand the three primary methods of heat transfer. This video uses practical examples to demonstrate how thermal energy moves through different mediums.

Engage in a discussion about how thermal energy is transferred in everyday scenarios, reinforcing the concepts shown in the video.

Conduct an experiment to observe heat transfer by placing a metal rod over a flame and noting how heat travels along the rod. This hands-on activity helps students visualize thermal energy movement.

Assign students to complete the 'Thermal Conductivity Challenge' assessment, where they design a container to keep water warm. This activity encourages application of heat insulation concepts.

Use the 'Thermal Energy Transfer' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of conduction, convection, and radiation. This worksheet helps reinforce how thermal energy moves through different mediums.

Review key concepts of thermal energy and heat transfer with the class. Encourage students to share their observations and insights from the hands-on activities and assessments.

Conclude the lesson with the 'Heat' assessment, where students predict and measure temperature changes in water. This assessment helps solidify their understanding of thermal energy transfer.
