We are continuing to work through the Energy standards this week, wrapping up with understanding the relationships among energy transfered, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy measured by the temperature of the sample.  Students will engage in lab activities to help them form explanations of phenomena they observe. 

Final assessment for the Energy Unit will be conducted in the following week.

 

Students are continuing to explore ptential, kinetic and thermal energy transfer and how different variables will effect temperature.  

 

Students will complete an assessment this week to measure their proficiency in understanding kinetic and potential energy.

This week in science we are reviewing the Science and Engineering Process and exploring Potential and Kinetic Energy.  Students conducted a lab last week and they are practicing data analysis and looking for patterns in data so connections can be made.  Students are also completing an interactive potential and kinetic energy stations lab (PPT).
