MS-PS3-4: Relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
MS-PS3-5: When the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.
Vocabulary: Energy transfer, conduction, convection, particles, radiation, renewable energy, electrical grid, Law of Conservation of Energy, first law of thermodynamics
What do conduction and convection have to do with heat loss?
2. Watch the movie and answer the following questions.
a. What is Matter?
b.What is Matter made of?
c. What are the three states of matter?
d. Why can you move around in liquid and gas but not a solid?
e. Can a solid become a liquid? Give two examples.
f. Can a liquid become a gas? Give an example.
g. True or False? The states of matter can change?
3. Watch the movie and answer the following questions.
a. What are some of the ways we generate electricity?
b. What is the "key" to making electricity?
c. What are some ways to move turbines?
d. What does "renewable energy" mean?
e. How is electricity transported?
f. What is an electrical grid?
4. After watching the movie explain how the roller coaster help explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.
5. The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. )
6. Activity: Make a google poster using all three forms of heat transfer to cook a hot dog.
