Heat Transfer and Conductivity - Desert Lizards

Creature Teacher: The Desert Lizard
Science Category: Physics

Students compare how heat moves through different materials by testing metal, wood, plastic, and other objects in warm water. Inspired by reptiles absorbing warmth from rocks, this investigation explores conduction and material properties.

All Creature Curriculum resources are educator-designed, classroom-tested, and built to support joyful, meaningful science learning. Each lesson is just one of dozens of science investigations available within a growing, interconnected lesson library.

Field-guided. Educator made.
