Students will demonstrate an understanding of the common sources and uses of heat and electric energy and the materials used to transfer heat and electricity.

-Obtain and communicate information to compare how different processes (including burning, friction, and electricity) serve as sources of heat energy.

-Plan and conduct scientific investigations to classify different materials as either an insulator or conductor of electricity.

-Develop models demonstrating how heat and electrical energy can be transformed into other forms of energy (e.g., motion, sound, heat, or light).

-Develop models that demonstrate the path of an electric current in a complete, simple circuit (e.g., lighting a light bulb or making a sound).
