Science Readers: How Heat Moves

How Heat Moves is an informational text that explores how heat is generated when molecules move and transfer energy. The book concludes with an experiment that involves slowing the rate at which an ice cube melts.    

The book is divided into chapters and contains a table of contents, glossary, and index.  Sentences vary in length and structure.  Information is presented by the main text, images, labelled photographs, and illustrations.

Content-specific vocabulary such as molecules, energy, transfer, thermometer, and conductor is defined in context and in the glossary.
