LAB ACTIVITY: HEAT, TEMPERATURE AND CONDUCTION
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance. It is commonly indicated in degrees (°C/°F). It is the measurement of the intensity of heat energy. By taking the temperature of something, you are actually getting information about the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules, but not the

If the temperature is high, the body sweats in order to cool down. Since the process of sweating is done to stop the temperature change, this is a negative feedback.

TEACHER BACKGROUND: SPECIFICS OF HEAT TRANSFER
gml.noaa.govIn a new scenario, a metal can containing hot water is placed in a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. Heat is transferred from the hot water to the cold water until both samples have the same temperature. The transfer of heat from the hot water through the metal can to the cold water is referred to as conduction.

TEACHER BACKGROUND: NATURAL CLIMATE CHANGE
gml.noaa.govmeans cooler summers and milder winters. Slow changes in the Earth’s orbit lead to small but climatically important changes in the strength of the seasons over tens of thousands of years. Climate feedbacks amplify these small changes, thereby producing ice ages. Solar variations - The Sun is the source of energy for the Earth’s climate system.

gml.noaa.govcorals display different sensitivities to changes in aragΩ and SST [Reynaud et al., 2003]. Considering that both these environmental parameters are likely to change considerably in the future, additional experiments on a variety of differing coral species will be crucial to obtain a better understanding of future coral reef stability.
