Essential
Question/
Key Question
Discuss why it is important for us
(the U.S.) to try and find
alternative energy sources to use
to provide electricity and power
needs to homes.
What does the
word cold
mean to you?
How does this
meaning differ
from the
meaning of the
word cold in
science?
What does the word cold
mean to you? How does this
meaning differ from the
meaning of the word cold in
science?
Lesson Opener
Finish Group Presentations from
Project- Energy
Discuss an example
of the Law of
Conservation of
Energy that you
experience in
everyday life.
(Make sure you
discuss if your
example obeys or
disobeys the Law)
Go over the
practice covering
Potential Energy
and Kinetic Energy
of objects.

Answer to the
essential question
above.
Students will
use Kahoots
to answer
questions
pertaining to
Heat and the
Transfer of
Heat
In groups of 2, students will
draw a diagram depicting the
transfer of heat in an
everyday setting.
Students will
use an Energy
Diagram using
an Ipad App to
complete an
activity to
reinforce the
concepts of
Energy and
Heat.
