Cross-Curricular Opportunities
📖 Science & ELA – "Energy Transfer Storytelling"
Students write a creative story about a journey of energy (e.g., how sunlight travels to Earth, powers a solar panel, and turns on a light bulb).
🎭 Science & Art – "Shadow Art Experiment"
Students explore how light energy is transferred by making shadow art with different materials and observing how light interacts with them.
📊 Science & Math – "Heat Absorption Investigation"
Students measure how different surfaces (metal, wood, plastic) absorb heat from the sun, then graph their results and analyze patterns.
🎼 Science & Music – "Sound Wave Explorations"
Students use musical instruments or homemade sound makers to explore how sound energy moves through different materials (air, water, solids).
🔌 Science & Social Studies – "Electricity Then & Now"
Students research how electricity has changed daily life over time, comparing past and present energy use, and present their findings through a timeline or presentation.
