1. The Question Objects are constantly changing

position. However, this change would be impossible without energy. The energy of motion and position must be described.

How do you describe the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in moving objects.

How does bouncing a basketball demonstrate potential and kinetic energy transformations?

6. Teacher Support MaterialsTeacher Notes:Objective: Students will be able to analyze the movements in a variety of contexts

in order to describe the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in moving objects.

Differentiation: All students complete the same class work and assessment. However they are divided into gold and silver stars for reading. Gold stars read the site without any assistance whereas for silver stars the site

Time Management Strategies: It is suggested that this activity This activity could also be conducted in groups of two students.

Technology Infusion: The students will need to be introduced to drop-down menus and entering the text into the enabled areas. Students should also be familiar with opening hyperlinks in both the documents and in the Power point presentation. The students should also be familiar with tabs (sheets in excel), entering text in boxes, clicking into boxes

AVID Strategy: The following AVID strategies are supported in this lesson: inquiry based learning, quick write (reaction and analysis) and use of Costas and Bloom questioning.

Learning Styles: Field Dependent, Field independent, Visual and Reflective Learners, Global Understanding

Maryland State Curriculum Goal:

5.0 Physics: Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the interactions of matter and energy and the energy transformations that occur.

Indicator 1: Identify and explain that heat energy is a product of the conversion of one form of energy to another.

Objectives

a. Identify various forms of energy such as mechanical, solar, chemical, electrical, and nuclear.b. Identify the energy transformations that must occur in order for work to be done by various common

devices, such as home appliances, flashlights, and cars.c. Recognize and explain that some heat energy is always lost from a system during energy

transformations.

Key Ideas and Details1. Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.

Craft and Structure4. Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics.

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas7. Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).

Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity10. By the end of grade 8, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 6–8 textcomplexity band independently and proficiently.
