Learning Targets
- I can identify different forms of energy transfer, such as sound, light, heat, and electric currents. #dok1
- I can make observations about how energy moves from one place to another. #dok1
- I can provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. #dok2
- I can explain how energy is moved through sound, light, heat, and electric currents. #dok2
- I can summarize how observations support the idea that energy transfers between places in different ways. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Energy can be transferred from one place to another in several ways, including through sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
- Observing and providing evidence helps to understand the processes and phenomena involved in energy transfer.
Essential Questions
- How can energy move from one place to another?
- What forms does energy take as it travels between places?
- How can we observe and provide evidence of energy transfer in our daily lives?
- What are some examples of energy being transferred by sound, light, heat, and electric currents?
- How do scientists use observations to explain how energy is transferred?
