7-Energy-Conservation+&+Transfer

7.P.2.1 Explain how kinetic and potential energy contribute to the mechanical energy of an object. 7.P.2.2 Explain how energy can be transformed from one form to another (specifically potential and kinetic energy) using a model or diagram of a moving object (roller coaster, pendulum, or cars on ramps as examples). 7.P.2.3 Recognize that energy can be transferred from one system to another when two objects push or pull on each other over a distance (work) and electrical circuits require a complete loop through which electrical current can pass. 7.P.2.4 Explain how simple machines such as inclined planes, pulleys, levers and wheel and axles are used to create mechanical advantage and increase efficiency. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**===

 * 7.P.2 Understand forms of energy, energy transfer and transformation and conservation in mechanical systems. **

7.TT.1 Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks. Students will use various Microsoft Office programs (word, power point) to assist them in writing their paper on windmill energy and creating a power point on the different types of energy transfer. 7.RP.1 Apply a research process to complete given tasks. Students will research the benefits of windmill energy. .7.SE.1 Apply responsible behaviors when using information and technology resources. Students will be reminded before completing their paper about plagiarism and the importance of making sure what they write is their own original thoughts. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Revised Bloom's Level of thinking**===

 * Level 2- Understanding - Graphic Organizer (Tree Map) to organize simple machines.**
 * Level 3 - Applying - Students will apply their knowledge to move an object using one simple machine.**
 * Level 4 - Analyzing - Students will draw conclusions from the simple machine lab in order calculate MA (Mechanical Advantage).** ||
 * I will identify the relationship between kinetic, potential and mechanical energy.
 * I will understand that in order for an object to do work it must possess mechanical energy.
 * I will use a model to describe how energy is transformed from kinetic to potential energy
 * I will define the following forms of energy: thermal, mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic waves.
 * I will explain how different forms of energy are transferred through different systems.
 * I will recognize that when energy is transferred it is conserved.
 * I will define ideal mechanical advantage and actual mechanical advantage
 * I will evaluate everyday items to create a simple machine to achieve mechanical advantage.
 * I will compare and contrast the differences between simple and compound machines

2.3 I can explain the four ways energy is transferred.
