Energy
The ability to do work.
In this unit we will explore Energy. The simplest definition of energy is "the ability to do work". Energy is the ability to cause things change and move. It's everywhere around us and takes all sorts of forms. It takes energy to cook food, to drive to school, and to jump in the air. Energy is a property of many substances and is associated with heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, nuclei, and the nature of a chemical. Energy is transformed and transferred in many ways.
Week 7 - Energy Transformations
Task 1 - Click on the Forms of Energy heading above at the top of the page. Do any or all of the following to gain an understanding of this week's subject matter. 1. Read the Google Slide Presentation of Types of Energy. 2. Read the online book pages in the digital textbook. 3. Watch the videos.
Task 2 - Go to Google Classroom and complete the Escape Room. (No worksheet this week- you must do the Escape Room for credit). HINT: Many of the questions in the Escape Room come directly from the Google Slides presentation.

Woot Woot! Just 3 tasks this week! YaHOOOOOOOOOO!
Week 6 - Kinetic and Potential Energy
Task 1 - Click on the Kinetic and Potential Energy heading above at the top of the page. Do any or all of the following to gain an understanding of this week's subject matter. 1. Read the Google Slide Presentation of Energy. 2. Read the online book pages in the digital textbook. 3. Watch the videos.
Task 2 - Turn in the Google Doc Learning Opportunity entitled "Energy- Week 6 Learning Opportunity". This will be found in Google Classroom. Like last week, if you work with someone, please put all names at the top and let me know in the comments.
Task 3 - You get to ride a roller coaster!!! (no...not really). You will watch a video as if you were on a roller coaster and then answer some questions about Kinetic and Potential Energy. This will be submitted as a an answer to a posted Google Question. Here is the document with the directions, BUT YOU NEED TO TURN IN AN ANSWER TO A GOOGLE QUESTION TO HAVE COMPLETED THIS LEARNING OPPORTUNITY.
