Energy is often transformed from one form to another. As the Law of Conservation of Energy states: “energy is neither created nor destroyed only transformed.” Therefore the amount of energy before a transformation is equal to the amount of energy after a transformation. What are the specific energy transformation that matter undergoes?

Teacher Notes: Objective: Students will be to describe the various forms of energy in order to identify specific energy transformations. Differentiation: All students complete the same class work and assessment and use the same web resource however they are divided into gold and silver star. Gold stars read the site without any assistance whereas for silver stars the site with a more simple reading. Time Management Strategies: It is suggested that this activity be completed over the course of two class periods. This activity could also be conducted in groups of two students. Technology Infusion: The students will need to be introduced to drop- down menus and entering the text into the enabled areas. Students should also be familiar with opening hyperlinks in both the documents and in the Power point presentation. The students should also be familiar with tabs (sheets in excel), entering text in boxes, clicking into boxes AVID Strategy: The following AVID strategies are supported in this lesson: inquiry based learning, and use of Costas and Bloom questioning. Learning Styles: Field Dependent, Field independent, Visual and Reflective Learners, Global Understanding Maryland State Curriculum Goal: 5.0 Physics: Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the interactions of matter and energy and the energy transformations that occur. Indicator 1: Identify and explain that heat energy is a product of the conversion of one form of energy to another. Objectives a. Identify various forms of energy such as mechanical, solar, chemical, electrical, and nuclear. b. Identify the energy transformations that must occur in order for work to be done by various common devices, such as home appliances, flashlights, and cars. c. Recognize and explain that some heat energy is always lost from a system during energy transformations.
