Projects

For this unit, your group will be responsible for two projects. Both projects should answer all essential questions.

=Essential Questions: = 1. What is energy? 2. How does energy cause change? 3.How can energy affect our world?

=Project 1: Teach Your Topic =

Using your assigned energy form, you and your group members will do the following -

 * 1) Research your energy form. All work will be done in your Google doc.
 * 2) Find out how your energy form fits the definition of energy.
 * 3) Find out how your energy form can show potential and kinetic energy.
 * 4) Find ways your energy form can transform into other energy forms.
 * 5) Keep a list of sources. Cite them properly. Use the citation link [|here].
 * 6) Find two experiments to perform for the class. For each experiment, you must have a properly written experiment. [[file:Scientific Method Worksheet.pdf]]
 * 7) One experiment will demonstrate potential and kinetic energy for your form.
 * 8) One experiment will demonstrate the transformation of your energy form into another form.
 * 9) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Choose one experiment that the whole class will perform with you.
 * 10) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Create a directions sheet for the class to follow.
 * 11) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Gather materials - enough for each team to complete the experiment.
 * 12) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Create a question sheet that students should be able to answer upon completion of the experiment.

 * 1) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Take careful notes during group presentations. All notes will be completed in your Google doc.
 * 2) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Create a video, podcast, etc that will demonstrate your understanding of energy, most especially relating to the essential questions.
 * 3) <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Be sure to include information about all energy forms in your presentation.
