OCTOBER 27 T H (A DAY)OCTOBER 28 T H (B DAY)

Science Class

Warm Up – Answer in your notebook (both questions)

1. Not everyone can make the bell ring at the top? Why?

2. How can we change the amount of energy we exert (use)?

Warm Up

1. Some people are stronger; they can exert enough energy on the base to ring the bell at the top

2. Yes, we can change how hard we swing the rubber mallet. We can exert different amounts of energy

Renewable Energy Brochure….

Take out your Renewable Energy Brochure now……Please make sure your name is on your brochure…Pass them in / over using our procedure now…This is your last grade for Quarter 1!!!!!

Interactive notebook

Find the next blank page in your notebook

Label it: Energy 6.P.3: Learning Set 2.1

Add this to your table of contents

Energy Textbook

Turn to page EN 42We will read the section together

Our objective today….Explore factors that determine how much

energy an object hasComplete a lab investigation and a

vocabulary activity

Today’s Agenda….

You will receive a handout titled ENERGY OBSERVATIONS

Today’s Handout….

There are 2 sides….Complete side 1 first (vocabulary)Use page EN 44 in your textbook to define

the following vocabulary words….Potential EnergyElastic Potential EnergyGravitational Potential Energy8 minutes

Today’s Handout….

Next we will begin side 2 of your handout (lab)

You will work in small groups todayEach group will receive 4 toys to investigateThese toys must last both days, for all blocks

(PLEASES DO NOT BREAK THESE TOYS)We will review the handout nowItems #5 and #6 will be demonstrations…

Today’s Lab…Handout

Objects include: Station 1: Windup toy- chattering teethStation 2: Bouncy ballStation 3: Spring toyStation 4: Push down toyStation 5: Newton’s cradle (demo only)Station 6: Wind chimes (demo only)

Today’s Lab…Each column in detail

Object column (this is filled out for you)Observation of how the object works (you

will complete this column on your own)Indicator (what do you see, smell, touch,

taste, or hear that indicates what the object does)

What are the different types of energy the toy uses or what kinds of energy transformations does the toy indicate

Investigation of 4 toys

You will have 20 minutes to investigate the 4 toys given to you today and complete your handout

After 20 minutes when the timer goes off, we will check our understanding of the 4 toys

Next we will complete the 2 demonstrations as a whole group

Today’s Lab….Demonstrations

What is Newton’s Cradle?Raise your hand if you know how this works?What type of energy does a Newton’s Cradle

use?What is the energy transformation?

Video explaining Newton’s Cradle

Todays’ Lab…Demonstration

Wind chimesRaise your hand if you know

how this works?What type of energy does a

wind chime use?What is the energy

transformation?

World’s Largest Wind Chime

Do we understand…..

Summary of what we did in our lab today…Turn to page EN 43 in your textbookWe will be reading the section in yellow

together now

Let’s check our understanding…

You will answer questions 1 & 2 in your interactive notebook on PAGE EN 44 - Reflect

Copy the question and answer in complete sentences

Draw this table in your notebook

Question 1 1. Describe the energy that was

transformed to make each toy move.

Object Energy (type (s) transformed)

Draw this table in your notebook

Question 22. What did you do to control each type

of energy you observed?

Object How did you control it?

Hoodwinked….

Watch to movie clip to view gravitational and kinetic energy
