Mon. / Warm-up: How many different ways can you name that energy is made?
Activities:All students will finish Energy Resources Pretest and go over results. In-class Science Fair / Homework/Assessment:
Tues. / Warm-up:What are all the different forms of energy? Read page 32 in your text.
Activities:All students will go over pretests and do an EduSmart lesson. In-class Science Fair / Homework/Assessment:
Wed. / Warm-up:How would your life be different if the only form of energy was electromagnetic?
Activities: All students will do an EduSmart lesson and check Energy packets. (from when teachers were gone.) / Homework/Assessment:
Thurs. / Warm-up: What is the most important form of energy in our society? Why do you think this?
Activities: All students will do an EduSmart lesson and make Energy Acrostics. In-class Science Fair / Homework/Assessment:
Fri. / Warm-up:Give an example of an energy transformation that starts with mechanical energy and ends with electromagnetic energy. You may draw it.
Activities: All students will do an EduSmart lesson and make Energy Acrostics. / Homework/Assessment:

WEEKLY FOCUS: TSW demonstrate energy transformations such as the energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electrical energy to light energy.

WEEKLY OBJECTIVE:The student will define energy transformations and identify examples.

GUIDING QUESTIONS: How can one form of energy be changed into another form of energy?

VOCABULARY:Energy Transformation, Mechanical, Electrical, Electromagnetic, Thermal, Chemical
