About this reader

This Grade 4 physical science reading passage explores heat energy transfer aligned to NGSS standard 4-PS3-2 and Disciplinary Core Idea PS3.B. Students learn how heat energy always moves from warmer places to cooler places through two main methods: conduction (by contact) and radiation (without contact). The passage uses accessible, age-appropriate language to explain these foundational concepts through familiar examples like cooking with a metal spoon, warming up in the sun, and ice melting in a glass of water. Audio-integrated features support diverse learners, while the simplified differentiated version provides scaffolded access for students reading below grade level. Spanish translations of both versions ensure accessibility for bilingual learners. Engaging activities including multiple-choice questions, writing prompts, and graphic organizers help students apply their understanding of heat transfer to real-world situations. This resource builds essential background knowledge for hands-on investigations and classroom discussions about energy and thermal processes.
