Activities

Assessment

1. Identifying forms of

energy

-students will have the

chance to sort various

photos exhibiting many

forms of energy

2. These answers will be

discussed as students

are formally introduced

to the six forms of

energy and energy

transfer in an interactive

PowerPoint

3. Exploring energy

transfer

-students will rotate

through five different

energy transfer labs

stations

1. ¡°How cold is the water? -It¡¯s

all relative¡±

-demo with cold, warm and

room temperature water

2. Temperature Games

-online game determining

temperatures in C, F and K

-group puzzle matching game

comparing temperature scales

-students ability to

sort and discuss

energy images

-responses to

PowerPoint

challenge questions

-lab activity sheets

-activity sheets

EXTRA CREDIT:

-at home go online

and find out the

weather for the

next day for

another city

outside of the US in

degrees C, F and K

-bring your weather

report to share for

the next class

Ms. Nguyen

1. Prior knowledge question:

Is temperature the same as

heat?

2. Notes, discussion and

demo on thermal energy

vs. temperature

3. Thermal energy worksheet

1. Brain Pop Video

2. Brain Pop Quiz

-on states of matter

3. Construct States of Matter

Graph

-discuss graphical

representation on board

4. Fun with dry ice

-demonstrate that not all

matter freezes and boils at

same temperature i.e.

anomaly ¨Cdry ice

(sublimation)

-make carbonated sparkling

cider

1. Labs demos/stations

-conduction ¨Ccandle wax on knitting

needle/Hershey kisses on

conduction sticks

-convection ¨Cpaper spiral,

conduction tubes

-radiation ¨Clight bulb

2. Heat transfer scenes

-student will observe 10 scenes at

10 stations and analyze the way

heat transfer occurs

-worksheet

1. Jeopardy review game

-students will be grouped into

teams to compete against their

classmates in a review game of

Jeopardy

1. Unit test

-class

participation

-activity

sheet/quiz

-change of states

-class lab activity

sheet

-diagrams for

heat scene

investigation

-summative

assessment

N.B. Exit Slips/Class participation: At the beginning of every class students will receive a question on the board

pertaining to the previous day¡¯s work. This will allow them to get focused and settled faster. It will also be their

exit slip out of class. At the end of the unit these questions will be used as a participation grade.

III. Daily Lesson Plans

Lesson 1 ¨CForms of Energy

Purpose: To investigate the difference between kinetic and potential energy. To be able

distinguish between the six general forms of energy and provide examples. To understand the

laws of conservation of energy.

NSTA standards: 1a), 1b), 1c), 2c), 3b), 6a), 6b), 8a)

SOLs:

PS. 1 The student will plan and conduct investigations in which

a) chemicals and equipment are used safely;

b) length, mass, volume, density, temperature, weight, and force are accurately

measured and reported using metric units (SI¡ªInternational System of Units);

d) triple beam and electronic balances, thermometers, metric rulers, graduated

cylinders, and spring scales are used to gather data;

k) valid conclusions are made after analyzing data;

PS. 5 The student will investigate and understand changes in matter and the relationship of

these changes to the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy. Key concepts include

a) physical changes;

PS. 6 The student will investigate and understand states and forms of energy and how energy is

transferred and transformed. Key concepts include:

a) potential and kinetic energy;

b) mechanical, chemical, and electrical energy; and

c) heat, light, and sound.

PS. 9 The student will investigate and understand the nature and technological applications of

light. Key concepts include

c) the electromagnetic spectrum.
