It's Getting Hot Up Here
A Webquest that's full of hot air
By: Evan Deichstetter and Ethan Waldoch Virtually every instance of objects interacting or of work being done involves energy transfer. To understand how objects move and interact with space and matter, having a grasp on what is going on with the energy as it transfers through objects is key. This activity is an engaging way to visualize energy transfer and learn about how factors like air density impact energy in a system. Understanding how energy moves in a hot air balloon is beneficial because energy transfer occurs multiple times and in many ways. Without energy transfer, a hot air balloon would remain grounded.
