Science-Energy
We will start our new unit on Energy. During the first chapter, the students will have a Question that will guide them throughout. The Chapter Question is: What happened to the electrical system the night of the Errgstown blackout?
WE will investigate what a system is and how electrical energy in a system is used.
The KEY CONCEPTS:
*A system is a collection of interacting parts that work together. Each part in the system plays a role to perform an overall system function.
*Light, motion, sound and thermal energy are all forms of energy. You can observe evidence of these different forms as outputs of electrical devices.
(There is no textbook for science. Only student workbooks).
