How are buildings heated?

Our School's Boiler

We had lots of fun in science today. We learned ways to heat or cool down a room. We thought of 6 ways to cool down a room if it is too hot and 8 ways to warm up if it is too cool. Ask your child what ways they remember. One way to keep a room comfortable is to turn up the heat or turn down the heat. 
We went on a in school field trip to see our school's heating system. Our heater is in the basement.
 Our school has a new boiler system. 
 There are lots of pipes to circulate the hot water. 
The hot water is warmed to 85 degrees before it leaves the tank.

Homework

  • Look at your families heating system and thermostat.
  • Does your family turn down the heat at night like the school does?
  • How does each room in your house get it's heat?
