Unit plan: Forms and Transformation of Energy
Lessons
Types of energy and conversion (2 weeks) Energy Transfer (1 weeks) Energy Conservation (1 week) Standards S8P2 Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy. b. Explain the relationship d. Describe how heat can a. Explain energy between potential and be transferred through transformation in terms of kinetic energy. matter by the collisions of the Law of Conservation atoms (conduction) or of Energy. c. Compare and contrast through space (radiation). the different forms of In a liquid or gas, currents energy (heat, light, will facilitate the transfer electricity, mechanical, of heat (convection). motion, sound and their characteristics. Objectives •Explain the relationship between energy and work •Demonstrate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy •Identify different forms of potential and kinetic energy. •Demonstrate heat transfer in radiation, conduction, and convection. •Explain why energy cannot be created or destroyed but only changed from one form to another •Develop a flow chart to illustrate the transfer of energy with respect to conservation of energy. Vocabulary Energy Potential energy Kinetic energy Energy transformation Work (Sound, mechanical…) Heat Convection Conduction Radiation Temperature Joules Closed system Conservation Law of conservation of energy TIDEs 2013
