Weekly Agenda November 16 - November 20 |
Content Standard | S8P2. Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy. a. Explain energy transformation in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy. b. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. c. Compare and contrast the different forms of energy (heat, light, electricity, 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) |

Notes and Upcoming Project Due Dates | Please make sure that your child is reviewing material each and every night. Their folder should also be organized properly with the three sections I have asked for - assignments, notes/foldables, and their Science Journal (which should be a spiral notebook). We are in need of paper towels. I would appreciate any and all donations you are able to make to our classroom - hand sanitizer and tissues are welcomed. |
