Directions: For each letter pick one task to review what you know.
You should try to complete tasks from each level category. Remember each activity only carries so many points so choose carefully.
S8P2. Students will be
familiar with the forms and
transformations of energy.
I (20pts each)
You must complete all 3 tasks
for each letter.
1. Define all of the vocabulary:
A. Explain energy
transformation in terms of
the Law of Conservation of
Energy.
B. Explain the relationship
between potential and
kinetic energy.
Endothermic, and Exothermic Energy,
Thermal Energy, Energy, Temperature,
Density, weight, height, velocity, mass,
position, and Law of Conservation of
Energy.
2. Identify the law of conservation of
energy in your everyday life.
3. List 3 examples of the law of
conservation of energy, use real life
examples and explain how each works
in your own words.
1. Identify potential and kinetic
energy sources in your everyday life.
2 Create flashcards for vocabulary:
energy, kinetic energy, potential energy,
electromagnetic, mechanical, electrical,
nuclear, chemical, thermal, sound, joules,
light, elastic potential, gravitational
potential.
3. Compare and contrast Potential
II (25pts each)
You may pick 2 of the 3 tasks for
each letter.
C. Compare and contrast
the different forms of
energy (heat, light,
electricity, and mechanical
motion, sound) and their
characteristics.
D. Describe how heat can
be transferred through
matter by the collisions of
atoms (conduction) or
through space (radiation).
In a liquid or gas, currents
will facilitate the transfer of
heat (convection).
energy, kinetic energy, potential energy,
electromagnetic, mechanical, electrical,
nuclear, chemical, thermal, sound, joules,
light, elastic potential, gravitational
potential.
3. Create a fact chart about all of the
forms of energy, use your notes the
book, and scientific web sites.
1. Use the textbook and create your
own explanation of heat
transformations and how they work.
2 Create word walls for: conduction,
convection, radiation, heat, temperature,
and thermal energy.
3. List 3 examples of heat
transformations, use real life
examples and explain how each works
in your own words.
IV (30pts each)
You may pick one task for
any letter.
1. Create a diagram that explains the Law
and how energy transforms.
2. Illustrate a simple energy cycle explain
the transition of energy at each
transformation.
3. Use the textbook and create your own
explanation for the law of conservation of
energy.
1. Compare the law of
conservation of energy to the
law of conservation of matter.
Explain how the two relate and
work together.
2. Draw conclusions between
the energy cycles from what we
have learned and explain how
it relates/ reinforces what you
learned in life sciences.
1. Explain why the law of
conservation of energy supports
how renewable energy sources
work. Investigate nonrenewable energy works and
how the law of conservation of
energy still applies. Determine
what you think is the most
realistic
1. Illustrate Potential and Kinetic energy
and then explain the differences.
2. Write a song that explains and
highlights the unique qualities and
differences between kinetic and potential
energy.
3. Diagram a picture of a sports game or
an amusement park explain the types of
energy and their transformations.
1. Evaluate your notes and the
textbook create 10 original
questions about potential and
kinetic energy and additional 5
concerning their relationship.
2. Make a connection between
potential and kinetic energy
and explain how it relates/
reinforces what you learned in
life sciences.
1. Create a brochure about
Potential and kinetic energy.
Explain, give examples, and
illustrate each then persuade
the reader which type of energy
is more important, with details
and examples of why.
1. Create an anchor chart that explains
and displays what you have learned about
different forms of energy give examples
and illustrations, include memory tools
for others.
2. Make a Venn Diagram comparing and
contrasting the different forms of energy
and their characteristics.
3. Make a bubble map that includes all of
the types of energy how they are used,
how they work together, and how they are
different.
1. Write a song that explains the unique
qualities and differences between the
types of heat transfers.
2. Create an anchor chart that explains
and displays what you have learned about
heat transformations give examples and
illustrations, include memory tools for
others.
3. Make a Venn Diagram comparing and
contrasting the different heat
transformations and their characteristics.
1. Diagram a picture of a
racing scene or a cooking scene
explain the types of energy and
their transformations.
2. Connect heat
transformations to the law of
transformation of energy and
phase changes of matter. Your
observations need to be
explained in a full paragraph.
1. Evaluate a video clip (you
tube) explain how it does or
does not demonstrate the
differences the different forms
of energy. Cite the video and
explain why it did a good job
showing differences or how it
could have improved. Write a
paragraph to summarize your
thoughts on the video and
energy.
1. Draw conclusions between
how energy transfers based on
the phase of matter.
2. Evaluate your notes and the
textbook create 10 original
questions about heat transfer
and additional 5 concerning
their relationship.
1. Connect the types of heat
transformations to the phases of
matter and the physical
characteristics of matter.
Combine these ideas into a
summary paragraph on how
they relate.
