Big Ideas:
What causes change?
How do matter and energy depend on each other?
How do matter and energy depend on each other?
Learning Targets:
I Can...
- Demonstrate understanding of Newton's Three Laws of Motion through pictures/words.
- Explain how electricity is created and trace/follow its path from a power plant to an outlet in my home.
- Correctly identify examples of potential and kinetic energy.
- Correctly identify and give examples of all seven forms of kinetic energy (nuclear, sound, radiant, thermal, chemical, mechanical, and electrical) and trace the energy flow.
- Classify all ten energy sources as renewable or non-renewable and describe how these sources can best be managed.
- Apply knowledge of all ten sources of energy (hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, solar, coal, natural gas, petroleum, propane, geothermal, and biomass) to determine their appropriateness in supplying electricity related to natural resources, geography, and cost factors through a discussion and a written proposal for an alternative energy for Grandview Heights.
- Working within a small group, students will apply STEM integration with design and construction constraints to solve an energy related problem.
