STANDARDSContent and Characteristics
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 mechanical, heat, electrical and magnetic energy and their characteristics.
S8P5. Students will recognize characteristics of gravity, electricity, and magnetism as major kinds of forces acting in nature. d. Investigate and explain that electric currents and magnets can exert force on each other.
S8CS1. Students will explore the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science and will exhibit these traits in their own efforts to understand how the world works.
a. Understand the importance of—and keep—honest, clear, and accurate records in science. b. Understand that hypotheses can be valuable even if they turn out not to be completely accurate.
S8CS2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory and field investigations. a. Follow correct procedures for use of scientific apparatus. b. Demonstrate appropriate techniques in all laboratory situations. c. Follow correct protocol for identifying and reporting safety problems and violations.
S8CS5. Students will use the ideas of system, model, change, and scale in exploring scientific and technological matters. a. Observe and explain how parts can be related to other parts in a system such as the role of simple machines in complex machines. b. Understand that different models (such as physical replicas, pictures, and analogies) can be used to represent the same thing.
S8CS7. Students will question scientific claims and arguments effectively. b. Identify the flaws of reasoning in arguments that are based on poorly designed research (e.g., facts intermingled with opinions, conclusions based on insufficient
evidence). d. Recognize that there may be more than one way to interpret a given set of findings.
S8CS8. Students will be familiar with the characteristics of scientific knowledge and how it is achieved. Students will apply the following to scientific concepts:
a. When similar investigations give different results, the scientific challenge is to judge whether the differences are trivial or significant, which often requires further study. Even with similar results, scientists may wait until an investigation has been repeated many times before accepting the results as meaningful.
S8CS9. Students will understand the features of the process of scientific inquiry. Students will apply the following to inquiry learning practices:
• Investigations are conducted for different reasons, which include exploring new phenomena, confirming previous results, testing how well a theory predicts, and comparing different theories.

The question is…
How is energy transferred to my house?
![Page 5: Module 2 Energy in our Lives](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56812fda550346895d955259/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
K W LWhat I KNOW
What I WANT to Know
What I LEARNED
Ex: How does electricity get to
MY house?
Ex: Lots of things in my house use
electricity.

How is electricity created?
• Draw a sketch of how YOU think electricity is made and how it gets to your house. Label as many things as you can. Write a short paragraph explaining the sketch.

Did you know?Did you know?
Electricity is the #1 form of
energy consumption!
![Page 8: Module 2 Energy in our Lives](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56812fda550346895d955259/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It’s the LAW!
• The Law of Conservation of Energy states that
• we cannot destroy energy,
• but we can change it.

Change is Good
Electric power plants change mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Power to the People!
• The electrical energy is transmitted great
distances to our homes by wires. We convert the electrical energy back
into mechanical energy by way of motors in order to
do work for us.

What do you use motors for at home?

Different energy sourcesPeople use different energy sources
to make electricity. One source is fossil
fuel. How many other types of energy sources
can you think of?
![Page 13: Module 2 Energy in our Lives](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56812fda550346895d955259/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Let’s look at the energy sources we use to generate electricity.
Each had its advantages anddisadvantages. People use whatever is available and
economical.

Bringing it Home• Now we will break into
groups by the neighborhoods we live in. Each group will research
and create a visual diagram of how electricity
is made and transferred to • the homes in your
• neighborhood.
