Heat Flow
So far, we've learned:
1. There are different forms of energy, divided into potential (stored) and kinetic (moving) energy.
2. Thermal energy (heat energy) is a form of kinetic energy that comes from moving particles.
3. Energy can be transformed from one type of energy to another. For example, chemical energy from food can be transformed into thermal energy to help heat our bodies.
4. Insulators keep heat in, conductors allow heat to flow.
5. Climate change is altering the weather and seasonal temperatures around the world.

Scenario:
Every Saturday morning, Ms. Plank pours herself a cup of coffee, and then she gets distracted by her chores around the house. By the time she has a chance to drink her coffee, it's cold. Please help Ms. Plank by designing a device that will keep her coffee warm until she has time to drink it!
BONUS: Ms. Plank has shown you her concern for the environment. You will get extra marks if your design includes environmental considerations.
