Dates: Nov 30-December
Title of Unit: Energy Transfer- Thermal Energy
Unit Synopsis: Science is an organized method of learning about the natural world. Students will begin to observe and propose explanations based
on Scientific Investigations that follow a general pattern of observing, hypothesizing, investigation, analyzing, and concluding. Students will also
begin to understand how investigations are represented in models and written explanations.

“I can” statements
Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device
that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical
processes.
Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device
that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer.
1.
07-PS34
Plan an investigation to determine the relationship among energy
transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the
average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the
temperature of the sample.
4.
07-PS35
Construct and present arguments to support the claim that when
the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or
from the object.
07-PS32
Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects
interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential
energy are stored in the system.
