In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• recognize examples of energy causing change or doing work (5.2 a)

• compare forms of energy (5.2 b)

• make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents, and through contact between objects (5.2 b)

• describe everyday examples of energy changing forms (5.2 c)

• identify the energy transformations that occur when energy is used to run a device in the home or school (5.2 c)

• apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another (5.2 c)

• explain that energy is conserved and cannot be created or destroyed; energy can change forms (5.2 d).
