ENERGY AND MATTER

DAY 1

WARM-UP (7 MIN)

In your notebook, always include the date, the lesson title, and do the warm-up task associated to that date. 

Task:  *Complete the Musical Warm-Up:  "What is that?"*

WARM-UP DISCUSSION (3 MIN)

*How do we link energy to changes in matter?*

LAB:  *ENERGY AND MATTER* (15 MIN)

In your notebook, always include the date, the lesson title, and do the warm-up task associated to that date.  FOR LABS, IF NO SHEET IS PROVIDED, YOU MUST RECORD STEP TITLES AND YOUR ANSWERS IN YOUR SCIENCE NOTEBOOK 


Purpose:  To display different types of energy and to link them to changes in matter.

Materials:  Sugar, Battery, Wires, Marbles, Thermometer, Flashlight, Matches, Candle, Oil Lamps, Sparkler

Procedure:  

  1. STEP 1:  Take some time (5 minutes) to become familiar with the objects in front of you.  Do not light the match yet.  You have an idea of what it does already :-).

  2. STEP 2:  Draw the items in your science notebook and write a 1 sentence description of how energy is related to that object.  Example:  Wires allow electrical energy to transport through them to go from one place to another.

  3. STEP 3:  While writing, Mr. Amen will come around to help you use the items in a different way. Feel free to adjust your descriptions after doing so.

THE NOTES:  DAY 1 VOCABULARY (10 MIN)

*Write these down in your notebooks!*


Kinetic Energy - the energy of matter in motion

Potential Energy - the energy an object has because of its position

Chemical Energy - the internal energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms that is form of potential energy.

Electromagnetic Energy - a form of energy that travels through space as waves.

Electrical Energy - the energy of electrically charged particles moving from one place to another.

Electrodes - a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.

KEY CONCEPT - Forms of energy related to changes in matter may include kinetic, potential,chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.

EVALUATION (10 MIN)

We'll wrap it up here with today's assessment in your learning management system.  Feel free to study your notes and/or the videos below.  We always recommend viewing the videos the night before the lesson.
