Thermal Energy Put to Work Grade Levels: 7-10  Background When air is heated, the molecules move around faster and get further apart (if there is room to spread). The cooler air (with its molecules closer together) starts to sink, pushing the warmer air up. This is where we get the phrase “hot air rises.” ? Question Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?

          Thermal Energy Put to Work
Grade Levels: 7-10
 Background
When air is heated, the molecules move around faster and get further apart (if there is room to spread). The cooler air (with its molecules
closer together) starts to sink, pushing the warmer air up. This is where we get the phrase “hot air rises.”
