# S3P1: Heat Energy Transfer

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the ways heat energy is transferred and measured.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: Grade 3, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/grade-3.md

## Expectations

- **S3P1.a**: Ask questions to identify sources of heat energy.
- **S3P1.b**: Plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects.
- **S3P1.c**: Use tools and every day materials to design and construct a device/structure that will increase/decrease the warming effects of sunlight on various materials.
