Heat Transfer Through Earth
This 1-page reading passage explains how heat is transferred through Earth by conduction for 7th graders. It builds reading comprehension and scientific vocabulary.
“I can explain how heat is transferred through Earth by conduction.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 20-minute whole-class or small-group lesson.
- Discussion question: How does conduction differ from convection and radiation in Earth's heat transfer?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a graphic organizer to help students visualize the process of conduction.
- Extension for advanced students: Have students research and present on real-world examples of conduction in geological processes.
