Learning Targets
- I can describe what it means for a system to be closed and why that matters for energy conservation. #dok1
- I can identify evidence that shows energy is conserved in a closed system. #dok2
- I can plan an investigation to provide evidence that energy is conserved within a closed system. #dok3
- I can carry out an investigation to collect and analyze data about how energy changes form but is not lost or gained in a closed system. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
- Investigating energy conservation helps us understand how energy transfers and transformations occur in real-world scenarios.
Essential Questions
- What does it mean for energy to be conserved in a closed system?
- How can we design an investigation to test whether energy is conserved?
- What evidence would we look for to show that energy is not lost or gained during transformations in a closed system?
- Why is it important to consider whether a system is closed when studying energy conservation?
- How does energy conservation impact technology and the environment?
