Learning outcomes Students will: understand and recognize the seven forms of energy through the completion of several card-sorting activities that require them to record and discuss their reasoning and through analysis of other groups’ sorting decisions. demonstrate their understanding of the seven forms of energy by sorting the cards (types of energy) into the proper groups and completing a fill-in-the-blank paragraph assessment.

Teacher planning Time required Two 65-minute class periods Materials needed Energy cards — one set per pair of students Card sort lab sheet — one per student Ski trip guided practice sheet — one per student Energy definitions cards assessment — one set per student Technology resources Teachers who wish to display the instructions (instead of printing a copy for each student pair) will need a multimedia projector and computer. Handouts Energy cards Students sort these cards in various ways during the lab activity. Open as PDF (1 MB, 14 pages) Card sort lab sheet Activities. Forms of Energy: Motion, Heat, Light, Sound. What forms of energy is Raul using to move his LEGO car? When he was a teenager in Romania, Raul Oaida became obsessed with building things: a jet-engine bike, a tiny spaceship, a LEGO car that runs on air. Why? Well, why not?

Energy comes in two basic forms: potential and kinetic Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. Kinetic Energy is found in movement. Energy can shift between forms, but it is never destroyed or created. A car transforms the potential energy trapped in gasoline into various types of energy that help the wheels turn and get the car to move. Power plants transform one form of energy into a very useful form, electricity. These transformations are hardly perfect. Forms of Potential Energy For example, the farther you lift an anvil away from the ground, the more potential energy it has. Chemical reactions that produce net energy are exothermic. Energy Works! Teachers Guide. Energy Potential Teachers Guide. Exploring Alternative Energy Sources. Chapter Overview | Inquiry in Action. Chapter 1: Molecules in Motion Students will experience all five elements of inquiry as they ask questions about M&M’s in water, design and conduct experiments to answer these questions, and develop explanations based on their observations.

Chapter 2: Physical Properties & Physical Change in Solids In this chapter, students compare the properties of four different household crystals to the properties of an unknown crystal. Chapter 3: Physical Properties & Physical Change in Liquids Even though different liquids may look similar, they act differently when placed on various surfaces. Students compare the way four known liquids and an unknown liquid bead up, spread out, or absorb into different surfaces. Chapter 4: Dissolving Solids, Liquids, and Gases In this chapter, students participate in activities that help them better understand the different factors that affect the solubility of solids, liquids, and gases.

Gases, Liquids, and Solids. Gases, Liquids, and Solids Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences. Note that: Particles in a: gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property. States of Matter. Changingmatter.

Investigating Changes of State. A Matter of State. A plastic bottle is compressed following a flight Photo Credit: Korte Purpose To help students understand that particle movement changes as a substance changes from one phase to another phase. Context This lesson is designed to give students the opportunity to observe a phenomenon created by particle movement. Prior to this lesson, students should have been introduced to the notion that matter may go through different phase changes.

This particular benchmark may be difficult for students to grasp because middle-school and high-school students are deeply committed to a theory of continuous matter. Additionally, many students do not understand that all substances undergo some type of movement. Emphasis needs to be placed on helping students understand that there are different motions exhibited by substances in their respective phases. Motivation Ask students to write descriptions of the three common states of matter.

Development Break the class into lab groups of four to five students. Putting the Ice in Hockey. Anders Elkjaer Johansen, Face off in the NHL game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers at GM Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. CC-BY-2.0 via Wikimedia Commons Purpose To understand the relationship between molecular motion and the slippery properties of ice. Context This lesson helps to demonstrate the application of the concept that different states of matter exhibit differences in its molecular motion.

Students should understand that temperature affects the motion of molecules and plays an important role in what state a particular type of matter is found. As temperature increases, particle movement increases. By the end of the 8th grade, students should have sufficient grasp of the general idea that a wide variety of phenomena can be explained by alternative arrangements of vast numbers of invisibly tiny, moving parts. Students should become familiar with the characteristics of different states of matter and transitions between them. Planning Ahead Motivation.

The purpose of the coaster's initial ascent is to build up a sort of reservoir of potential energy. The concept of potential energy, often referred to as energy of position, is very simple: As the coaster gets higher in the air, gravity can pull it down a greater distance. You experience this phenomenon all the time -- think about driving your car, riding your bike or pulling your sled to the top of a big hill. The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy -- the energy of motion that takes you down the hill.

Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential e­nergy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars. ­ Click play to start the animation, which demonstrates how a roller coaster's energy is constantly changing between potential and kinetic energy. At the top of the first lift hill (a), there is maximum potential energy because the train is as high as it gets. Building Roller Coasters. Roller Coaster Physics. Exhibits Collection -- Amusement Park Physics. You've bought your ticket and boarded the roller coaster. Now you're barreling down the track at 60 miles per hour, taking hairpin turns and completing death-defying loops. Your heart is in your throat and your stomach is somewhere near your shoes. The only thing separating you from total disaster is a safety harness...but are you really in danger? The designers of the roller coaster carefully crafted this thrilling ride to be just that, but you're actually in less danger than you think.

Friction is a force that both resists motion and makes movement possible. Friction is the resisting force when two materials slide across each other. The types of materials affect the amount of frictional force. This experiment is designed to test the effect various materials have on frictional force. Materials Cork board Foil Felt Sandpaper Double-sided tape Waxed paper Coins (quarters are best) or 1" washers Books, or something to prop the board up to make a steep ramp What To Do Cut strips of felt, foil, sandpaper, and waxed paper that are about two and a half inches long and are as long as the corkboard is wide.
