Energy and Its Conservation:
Energy and Its Conservation:
This unit discusses specific types of kinetic and potential energies. The concept of conservation of energy is introduced and followed by a discussion of the conservation of mechanical energy.
Power Standards:
Power Standards:
Students will be able to read and solve physics problems by writing down what is given in the problem, choosing the correct equation, and calculating the correct answer with the appropriate unit.
Students will be able to read laboratory investigations, follow the directions, use laboratory equipment properly, follow safety instructions, and analyze the data to help apply physics concepts learned.
Students will be able to analyze the relationship between force, displacement, work, and energy by looking at simple machines and the conservation of mechanical energy.
Learning Targets:
Learning Targets:
Learning targets are what the students will be assessed on.
Physics Knowledge:
PK 11.1 - I can define kinetic and potential energy, and relate potential and kinetic energy to objects that are moving through the air/moving horizontally/vertically. Chapter 11, Lesson 1 and Lesson 2
PK 11.2 - I understand and can explain the Law of Conservation of Energy and how it relates to the transfer of energy. Chapter 11, Lesson 3
Math:
M 11.3 - I can use the five steps to solve problems with kinetic energy, potential energy, the work-energy theorem, and total energy. Chapter 11, Lesson 4
M 11.4 - I know the abbreviations/units for all the previously learned terms, kinetic energy, and potential energy. Chapter 11, Lesson 4
Standards Based Grading Scale:
Standards Based Grading Scale:
All of the above learning targets will be assessed with the following scale:
4 - Advanced. The learner has demonstrated a high level of conceptual and procedural understanding of the specific knowledge and skills.
3 - Proficient. The learner has demonstrated understanding of the specific knowledge and skills.
2 - Beginning. The learner is emerging but does not yet demonstrate understanding of specific knowledge and skills.
1 - The learner has provided some evidence, but not enough to assess proficiency.
0 - The learner has provided no evidence of the skill.
Learning targets will be added to MiStar at the beginning of the chapter and grades (0-4) will be entered as the students meet with the teacher and demonstrate their understanding of the learning targets. Learning target grades may not be added at the same time. If there is a blank, then the student may not have had the opportunity to demonstrate thier knowledge yet. A grade entered as zero means that they had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and they chose not to.
