SC-05-4.6.1 Energy Phenomena
/ Classify
The learner will be able to ""
classify energy phenomena as
kinetic or potential; " describe the
transfer of energy occurring in
simple systems or related data.
Energy can be classified as kinetic
or potential. Energy is a property
of many substances and energy
can be found in several different
forms. For example, chemical
energy as found in food we eat or
in the gasoline we burn in our car.
Heat, light (solar), sound, electrical
energy and the energy associated
with motion (called kinetic energy)
are examples of other forms of
energy. Objects can have energy
simply by virtue of their position,
called potential energy. Energy is
transferred in many ways.
Analyzing simple systems can
provide the basis for describing the
transfer of energy occurring within
the system.
SC-05-4.6.2 Sun / light and heat
The learner will be able to should
understand that the Sun is a major
source of energy for changes on
Earth's surface. The Sun loses
energy by emitting light. A tiny
fraction of that light reaches Earth,
transferring energy from the Sun to
Earth.

SC-5-ET-U-1
Students will understand that energy can have many
different forms and be contained in many different
substances. Evidence of energy transfer may be
observed in a wide variety of systems.
SC-5-ET-S-1
Students will classify energy phenomena (e.g.,
heat/thermal energy, electrical energy, energy of
position) as kinetic or potential and use observations
and evidence to describe the transfer of energy
occurring in simple systems
SC-5-ET-U-2
Students will understand that energy from the sun flows
through space to reach the earth. Solar energy provides
the driving force for many of the changes that happen
on the Earth’s surface.
SC-5-ET-S-2
Students will describe solar energy and how it impacts
physical and biological systems on Earth

SC-05-4.6.3 Energy / Transfer
The learner will be able to "" draw
conclusions about the transfer of
energy within
models/representations of
electrical circuits as evidenced by
the heat, light, sound, and
magnetic effects that are
produced; " describe changes
within the system that would affect
the transfer of energy. Electrical
circuits provide a means of
transferring electrical energy. This
transfer can be observed and
described as heat, light, sound,
and magnetic effects are
produced. Models and diagrams
can be used to support
conclusions and predict
consequences of change within an
electrical circuit.
SC-05-4.6.4 Light / Patterns
The learner will be able to identify
predictable patterns and make
generalizations about light and
matter interactions using
data/evidence. Light energy
interacts with matter by
transmission (including refraction),
absorption, or scattering (including
reflection).
SC-05-4.6.5 Heat / Produced
The learner will be able to
understand that heat energy
moves in predictable ways, flowing
from warmer objects to cooler
ones, until both objects reach the
same temperature. By examining
cause and effect relationships,
consequences of heat movement
and conduction can be predicted
and inferred.

SC-5-ET-U-3
Students will understand that electrical circuits transfer
energy and can produce heat, light, sound, and
magnetic effects. They can be used for different
purposes by rearranging their components.
SC-5-ET-S-3
Students will design and conduct
investigations/experiments to determine the effects of
altering variables within electrical circuits and to draw
conclusions about the transfer of energy (e.g., heat,
light, sound, and magnetic effects ) within a system
SC-5-ET-U-4
Students will understand that light interacts with matter
in predictable ways that can be discovered through
investigations.
SC-5-ET-S-4
Students will design and conduct
investigations/experiments to identify predictable
patterns of interaction between light and matter (e.g.
some materials are more reflective, different liquids
refract differently, effects of multiple or differing light
sources)
SC-5-ET-U-5
Students will understand that in a closed system, warm
objects will cool and cool objects will warm until they are
all the same temperature.
SC-5-ET-S-1
Students will classify energy phenomena (e.g.,
heat/thermal energy, electrical energy, energy of
position) as kinetic or potential and use observations
and evidence to describe the transfer of energy
occurring in simple systems
