December Week 2
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.
Ask questions and define problems related to electrical energy production in Virginia, describe energy systems, to include transformations in nature and those that are used to meet societal needs
Evaluate and use credible, accurate, and unbiased sources of print and electronic media to gather and summarize scientific and technical information to describe how energy and fuels (fossil, renewable, and nuclear) are derived from natural resource
