Energy Inquiry

Target : Chemistry connects to Physics. We are looking at Energy and how it changes form. We are showing how energy is measured in chemical reactions. We are increasing our chemistry vocabulary.

Engage : Play the Skate Board Energy Game:

Review some of the ideas that you learned in physics and apply them to some new ideas in chemistry.

WEB : Skate Park

Follow through the Simulation by exploring the intro, friction and playground sections to learn about energy and how the Sim works.

Explore : : Use the Skateboard game:

DIRECTIONS : Create a Google Document for all of your answers and definitions for this Inquiry. The Google document must be submitted on Google classroom for credit for this assignment. There will be a Formative Quiz at the end of the Inquiry. You may use your Google Document to help on the quiz.

Answer these questions on your Google Document:

1. What happens to the thermal energy as the kinetic energy increases?

2. What happens to thermal energy as the friction is increased?

Explain : : Define the following Key Terms :

1. Law of Conservation of Energy

2. Kinetic Energy

3. Potential energy

4. Energy

5. Temperature

6. Heat

7. Endothermic

8. Exothermic

10. Joule

Elaborate: Watch these Videos in order:

Take some notes on this video to use for the quiz:

The Greenhouse Effect is how energy from the sun heats the Earth's atmosphere.

When people talk about "Global Warming", they are saying that people burning gas, oil, and coal; are adding Carbon Dioxide to the air which increases the "Greenhouse Effect".
