HOW THE WORLD WORKS

An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles;the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and on the environment.

 

Central Idea

Understanding of energy and forces can be applied to support human progress.

 

Lines Of Inquiry

  • Forms and sources of energy

  • The transformation of energy

  • The various responsible uses of energy

Key Concepts:

Responsibility, Form, Change

 

Related concepts:

forms, transformation and conservation of energy, physics

 

Science:

forces and energy; forms of energy (Potential: chemical, mechanical, nuclear, gravitational and electrical. Kinetic: radiant, thermal, motion and sound); transformation and conservation of energy; and physics

 

Summative Assessment:

You are a group of scientists who are going to prove the existence and transformation of energy through an experiment.

 

Criteria:

  • Makes comprehensive and reasonable explanation of each flow of energy transformation used in experiment

  • Applies scientific method to do the experiment about energy

  • Applies safety standards when  doing experiment

  • Demonstrates curiosity during the experiment
