GET READY! 1 sheet of notebook

paper 2 sharpened pencils science binder agenda novel

ASSIGNMENTS TO TURN IN

late or make up work : Energy Vocab. Energy True/ False

LAST LESSON

We watched the Disney Video on Energy & took notes.

We looked at examples of Rube Goldberg contraptions.

We made a rough draft of our own invention.

WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY? We will identify the forms of

energy being transformed. We will complete our Rube

Goldberg invention

AGENDA

Write this information in your agenda.

Complete your invention.

LEARNING TARGET

You will create an “invention” that uses energy changing from one form to another.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS Write the above title on your notebook paper. Think about each example. On your paper

write the original form of energy & then the energy it changes into.

You may NOT use your notes. For example a candle burning > chemical energy - light energy & heat energy

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #1

1. Using our classroom pencil sharpener changes …. energy into ….. energy.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #1

1. chemical energy (from the food you ate which gives your body energy) to mechanical energy (your muscles & the machine that is the pencil sharpener)

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #2

2. Using an electric fan changes . . . into … energy.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #2

answer = electrical to mechanical

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #33. Using a television changes . . . energy into . . . . energy and . . . energy.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS #3answer : changes electrical energy into light energy & sound energy

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS continued

o Copy & complete the following statements.

o You may not use your notes.o Place your paper in the Red Box

when you finish.

ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS continued

4. Burning a log changes . . . energy into . . . energy and . . . energy

5. Toasting a slice of bread changes . . . energy into . . . energy.

6. Boiling water changes . . . energy into . . . energy.

7. photosynthesis (how a plant makes its food)

8. using a solar cell (Mrs. Passell’s radio)

CHAIN REACTION Look at the invention & read the

description. Remember that you may not use

weapons & bombs in your invention.

How many different forms of energy can you find?

Add this as page 8 in your binder.

Your assignment

• Decide what your invention will do.• Write the description first.• Use at least 5 steps and identify 3 different

energy transformations. (Honors 5)• Draw & label your diagram• No violence, bombs, weapons, or anything

dangerous.• *** NO DISCUSSIONS OF YOUR IDEAS

yet!!!

Before you turn in your invention.

• Did you write a heading on both the invention & the description?

• Did you number (1, 2 – 5) or letter (A, B – E) each step?

• Did you identify the energy transformations? (mechanical to light, etc.)

• Did you color your invention?• Ask the teacher to tape your 2 papers together.• Put your work beside the Red Box or finish it for

homework.
