Teacher: Leah Olivas School: Carlsbad Intermediate School Unit Plan: Energy 8th Grade General Science and Pre AP General Science Unit Plan Title: Explaining the Processes of Energy Unit Plan Questions: Essential Questions: What is energy? What are kinetic and potential energy? How is energy related to work? What are the different forms of energy? What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? How does friction affect energy transformations? How are different types of energy used? What are renewable energy sources? What are nonrenewable energy sources? Why is it important to conserve energy? How do electrically charged objects differ? How do objects become electrically charged? How do electrically charged objects interact? How are electric charges and current related? What are the parts of a simple electric circuit? How do the two types of circuits differ? What causes a magnetic force? How are magnets and magnetic domains related? How are magnetic fields and electric currents related? DOK Questions: How can energy be explained and observed? Why is the understanding of energy transformations important? What are the pros and cons of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources? How is electric energy beneficial to humans? What is the difference between series and parallel circuits? What is the relationship between magnets and electricity? Content Questions: How do we define energy? What is the difference between the many forms of energy? How is energy transformed? How is electric energy produced? What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable sources of electric energy? How is electricity controlled and useful for humans to do work? What are the parts of a circuit and how does current flow through a circuit? How are magnets used to produce electricity? Unit Summary: This unit will cover many aspects of energy. The students will explore different forms of energy and explain how energy is transformed. A core concept of energy is the Law of Conservation of Energy. Energy is never expended only transformed. The students will investigate the transfer of energy in many forms. The use of fossil fuels and alternative energy sources are a common topic in today’s world. The students will explore the renewable and nonrenewable sources of energy available today. The students will investigate how electrical energy is produced by different energy sources. Electricity is produced and manipulated to provide heat and light for comfort and work. The students will explore the concept of electricity and identify the circuits electricity is channeled through. The students will also investigate the pros and cons of each type of circuit. The students will conclude the unit with a better understanding of energy and the source of electricity used in our homes and world. Common Core State Standards Addressed: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.4 Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics. NM Standards and Benchmarks Addressed: 08.04.02.02. Explain the physical processes involved in the transfer, change, and conservation of energy. 08.04.02.02.01. Know that energy exists in many forms and that when energy is transformed some energy is usually converted to heat. 08.04.02.02.02. Know that kinetic energy is a measure of the energy of an object in motion and potential energy is a measure of an object's position or composition, including: 08.04.02.02.02.01. transformation of gravitational potential energy of position into kinetic energy of motion by a falling object. 08.04.02.02.03. Distinguish between renewable and nonrenewable sources of energy. 08.04.02.02.04. Know that electrical energy is the flow of electrons through electrical conductors that connect sources of electrical energy to points of use, including: 08.04.02.02.04.01. electrical current paths through parallel and series circuits 08.04.02.02.04.02. production of electricity by fossil-fueled and nuclear power plants, wind generators, geothermal plants, and solar cells 08.04.02.02.04.03. use of electricity by appliances and equipment (e.g., calculators, hair dryers, light bulbs, motors). Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes: I will identify the different forms of energy. I will explain and apply the Law of Conservation of Energy to real world examples.
