Science Performance Grade - 7th Topic – Energy Transfer Title Who’s There? Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS): MS-PS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes energy transfer. MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the motion energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Performance Expectation (Learning Targets): I can make my home safer by designing an effective burglar alarm. I can explain safety hazards associated with electricity. I can explore careers in the energy field by completing research and visiting with Westar professionals. Prior to visit/Background information Complete research on circuitry. Read the story, A String of Pearls – The History of Electricity (literacy connection) Gathering Information Student Performance Complete scavenger hunt at the Education Station (Substation). Watch “Hot Trailer” safety demonstration with Westar professionals Visit with a Westar Engineer as students tour the station. Students will record notes in interactive notebooks as they travel around the station. Communicating Students will present their burglar alarm designs in a science fair atmosphere. The learning community, family members and Westar representatives will be invited to attend. Science Essentials Science Practices Crosscutting Concepts Disciplinary Core Ideas Connections Common Core State Standards Develop and use a model. Plan and carry out an investigation to test solutions. Energy may take different forms such as energy in fields, thermal energy, and energy in motion. The transfer of energy can be tracked as energy flows through a designed or natural system. Conservation of Energy Relationship Between Energy and Forces Math – Calculate voltage, current, and resistance Writing – Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation and write an informative text Art – Create a visual that demonstrates how electricity flows
