 Show What You Know 

Describe how you and your family have adapted to your community’s geography. 

Complete the Unit Inquiry supporting question that corresponds to the lesson with a session quiz.

Science: Begin Chapter 3 Energy and Its Forms

How can the energy of motion change?

Objective: I will know energy takes many forms, causes motion, and creates change.

DCI-3-PS2.B.3

Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and their distances apart and, for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other.

PE-3-PS2-3

Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

PE-3-PS2-4

Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.*

Lesson 1 What are some forms of energy?

By the end of this lesson, the student should be able to classify and compare different forms of energy and will investigate how energy causes motion and creates change.

• Cause and effect- Boiling Water
• Vocabulary words: energy, electrical energy, sound energy, potential energy, kinetic energy
• Students will think about energy used at home: mechanical energy, sound energy, stored energy, and energy of motion .
