Students explore the science behind the energy of moving objects. For this activity students need to be able to understand that the further up a ramp a marble is released, the faster it will move.
Students will Observe a variety of different types of energy that are being transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. They will brainstorm scenarios where one form of energy is converted to another. The students will then test a device that converts energy from one form to another. They will use what they have learned about energy transfer to imagine ways to convert one type of energy to another. Finally, they will explain how energy is transformed multiple times to solve a problem.
This lesson introduces students to solar energy and how it produces electricity. This lesson asks students to conduct a series of challenges to get different things powered through a solar panel.
In this lesson, students explore how energy can be stored as height. In the activity, Bumper Coasters (Part I), students build paper roller coasters. Students release marbles down the roller coaster track to understand height energy and energy transfer.
This is lesson two for a fourth grade energy unit. The set of three lessons explores the effects of coal fire power plants in Chicago and the community action generated to close the plants. Identity can be defined as a question of who you are, who others say you are and who you desire to be. Criticality is the capacity and ability to read, write, think, and speak in ways to understand power and equity in order to understand and promote anti-oppression.
