We discussed Thermal Energy Projects and their Compound Effect and Atmospheric Event as well. (I did not remember all the points however Thermal Energy projects do involve experiments that demonstrate the principles of heat transfer such as conductors, convectors and radiation—such as building solar ovens, or devices that minimize or maximize thermal energy transfer.
Thermal energy projects often involve experiments that demonstrate the principles of heat transfer, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. These projects can include building devices like solar ovens or insulated coolers to minimize or maximize thermal energy transfer.[1][4][5]
For example, building a solar updraft tower allows students to investigate how solar energy can be absorbed and converted into kinetic energy.[4] Similarly, constructing a pizza box solar oven lets them experience how reflection, absorption, and radiation of solar energy can be harnessed for cooking.[5]
Other thermal energy activities, such as making a homemade thermometer, explore how the thermal expansion of liquids can be used to measure temperature changes.[5] These hands-on projects help students develop a deeper understanding of the complex principles underlying thermal energy and its applications.

Types of Thermal Energy
1. Internal Energy: This is the total energy possessed by the molecules of a substance due to their motion and position, including both kinetic and potential energy.[3]
2. Sensible Heat: This refers to the energy that can be detected by a thermometer, causing a change in temperature without changing the phase of the substance.[3]
3. Latent Heat: The energy required to change a substance’s phase (e.g. solid to liquid) without changing its temperature. This energy is absorbed or released during phase changes.[3]
4. Chemical Energy: Energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. This energy is released as heat during chemical reactions, such as combustion.[3]
The search results explain that thermal energy is generated by the increased motion and collisions of atoms and molecules due to a rise in temperature. This thermal energy can then be transferred through the mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation.[1][2][4][5]
