Inspirational Quote of the Day: “What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.”– Chuck Grassley 


Energy Expo- Friday January 12


Expo information- 8:30-9:45 BSS Cafeteria


It is set up with 6 stations that students will rotate through in groups of 17-18 students. [Go to Schoology for Groups] Graded worksheets will be provided for students to complete. 


Station A- What is Electricity? How do we use energy in our school?


Station B- How do we make electricity? What are the impacts of fossil fuel use on our environment?


Stations C-F How do we reduce air pollution from our energy use?

C) Conserve- Use less

D) Go Energy Efficient

E) Use Cleaner fuels:

i. Solar

ii. Wind

iii. Electric Cars

iv. Nuclear Energy

   F ) The future: Hydrogen, wave energy, hydrogen fuel cells, carbon capture.

Energy Guidebook for Students



Objective: 7.2 Lesson 1: How can we heat up food when we don't have our typical methods available? 


Standards:

MS-PS1-6:

Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.


MS-ETS1-2:

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.


MS-ETS1-3:

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.


MS-ETS1-4:

Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
