March Week 2
Students should be able to identify and give examples of common forms of energy; recognize examples of energy causing change and differentiate between kinetic and potential energy.
Plan/conduct observational and/or experimental investigations related to transformations of kinetic and potential energy; Generate/analyze/interpret data in tables/graphs/charts/diagrams and/or other displays to compare relative amounts of potential
Construct and use models to show that different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes
Plan and conduct experimental and/or observational investigations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred and transformed between its different forms
Identify the energy transformations that occur when energy is used to run a device in the home or school; identify the energy transformations that occur between radiant energy in sunlight and the food we eat
Students should be able to generate/analyze/interpret data in graphs/charts/diagrams, and/or other displays related to thermal energy transfer through conduction/convection/radiation; plan/conduct an investigation related to energy transfer.
Apply scientific principles to design/construct/test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer; compare Celsius/Kelvin temperature scales and use them to describe absolute zero .
Explain absolute zero in terms of molecular movement (kinetic energy); use scientific principles to explain the function of a thermometer; analyze a time/temperature graph of phase change to determine temperature at which phase change occurs.
