Key Learning: Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but
transformation between forms often results in the loss of useable energy through the production
of heat.
Unit Essential Question(s):
How do energy transformations explain that
energy is neither created nor destroyed?
Concept:
Concept:
energy movement
environmental impact
S8.C.2.1 Describe energy sources, transfer ofenergy, or conversion of energy.
S8.C.2.2 Compare the environmental impact ofdifferent energy sources chosen
tosupport human endeavors.
Lesson Essential Question(s):
S8.C.2.1.1 What are the differences among forms of energy
(e.g., electrical, mechanical, chemical,
light, sound, nuclear, potential, kinetic) and sources of
energy (i.e., renewable and
nonrenewable energy) ? (A)
S8.C.2.1.2 How is heat transferred
from one place to another through
convection, conduction, or radiation. (A)
S8.C.2.1.3 How does one form of energy
(e.g., electrical, mechanical, chemical,
light, sound, nuclear, potential, kinetic) can be
converted into a different form of
energy? (A)
Vocabulary:
kinetic energy
, potential energy
, conduction, convection, radiation
Lesson Essential Question(s):
S8.C.2.2.1 How does the Sun's energy impact the
environment. (A)
S8.C.2.2.2 What is the differences in time span for the
renewability for fossil fuels and the
time span of renewability for
alternative fuels? (A)
S8.C.2.2.3 What are waste products (i.e., kind and
quantity) derived from the use of
renewable and nonrenewable
resources and what are their potential impact
on the environment? (A)
Vocabulary:
fossil fuel
, nonrenewable resources
