Introduction to Geothermal – Heat Transfer Lab – Student

Summary

The “Geothermal Heat Transfer” is a hands-on geothermal lab that allows students to model how underground soil can be used to heat or cool buildings. Using containers of soil at different temperatures, students will observe and record thermal energy transfer to a bag of warm water. The activity reinforces concepts of heat transfer and helps students visualize the science behind geothermal heating and cooling systems.
