S8P2. Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy.
a. Explain energy transformation in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
b. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy.
c. Compare and contrast the different forms of energy (heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound) and their characteristics.
d. Describe how heat can be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms (conduction) or through space (radiation). In a liquid or gas, currents will facilitate the transfer of heat (convection).
EQ:
What are the different forms of energy?
How is energy transferred?
How is heat transferred?
Scaffolding
Graphic organizer with definition and examples
Monday
Review Forms of Energy PowerPoint and look at examples of energy transfer.
Work with a partner to complete the forms of energy and energy transfer task.
Tuesday
Complete a skeletal outline of the Heat Transfer Powerpoint.
