HHE 1.1

​We are starting a new unit about physical science—the study of the physical world.

Physical science is not just knowledge you can read about—it is also the process used to figure out that knowledge. You’ll study physical systems and processes to learn about why things work the way they do.

​Lesson Objective: KWBAT explore a digital model in order to communicate their initial ideas about energy.

​Lesson Vocabulary:

1. System

2. Arrow​

​Anchor Phenomenon:

​ Get energy to the batteries in the rescue workers’ electrical devices, even when the power is out.

​Chapter Investigation Question:

What is energy and why does it matter to the rescue team?

​Energy is one of the things that physical scientists investigate. In this unit, you will work as physical scientists to deeply explore a few ideas about energy.

Open Ended

What is the first thing you think about when you hear the word energy?

SS: When I think of energy, I think about....

​In this unit, you will take on the role of student energy scientists trying to solve a problem. 

​

Problem: Some people got stuck in their house after a flood. Their food, water and flash lights are running out of energy.

Is it possible to charge electrical devices when the electricity it out? ​

​

​

​Have out your science notebook.

1. It should be titled: Energy and Work

2. it should be titled: Energy vs. No energy​

Title: Energy and Work

​I would like you and a partner to come up with a definition/ explanation of energy.

Then I would like you to do the same for work. ​

​SS: Energy is..

SS: Work is...​

​

CFS:

1. Capital letter

2. Complete sentence

3. definition/explanation​

Open Ended

What is energy?

SS: Energy is____.

Open Ended

What is work?

SS: Work is_____.

Title: Energy vs. No Energy

​On this page, make a T-chart.

CFS: ​

1. On the left side label it Energy.

2. On the right side label it No Energy​

3. Using the pictures on the next slide, divide them into the correct category... energy or no energy

4. be ready to justify your thinking!!​

HHE Vocabulary

​CFS:

1. on the blank side of each notecard, write the word

2. on the lined side write the definition

3. tape both notecards in composition notebook ​
