Standard:
3.2.4.B - Make and communicate observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
3.2.4.D - Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
Big Ideas:
The total change of energy in any system is always equal to the total energy transferred into or out of the system.
Producing energy useful in everyday life means to convert some available energy into a desired form, which is then delivered to users.
LEARNING SCALE
With help, the student demonstrates partial success at 2.0 and 3.0.
Identify examples of energy being transferred from one place to another.
Describe the different forms of energy.
Identify examples of energy being converted from one form into another (such as electrical energy being converted into motion energy or of light energy being converted into heat.)
Vocabulary: observations, energy, transferred, sound energy, light energy, heat energy, electric currents, scientific ideas, design, refine, converts"
