Flow of thermal energy (Mid)

You are a young engineer in a lab, and it is your day to learn about thermal energy. Each level imparts a new task related to heat transfer. Most of the tasks require you to heat up different materials like bricks, aluminum or plastics and measure or watch the change in temperature of each. You will try out fifteen different experiments to understand thermal energy.
