Cha Cha Cha Changes

Learning Target: 

• I can describe transfers of energy through a system

HOWLs Target:

• I can self-assess to improve my writing

Agenda

• Warm-up: TRANSFERS #2 (2min)
• How does energy change when blowing up a balloon and letting it go? Identify the types of energy and where they occur in order of when they happen.
• Rube Goldberg machines
• Still Untitled
• Project
• Develop a plan for a Rube Goldberg machine
• must have 6 energy transfers
• must have 4 different types of energy
• must have 1 form of "lost" energy
• must have descriptions of the transfers and energies that demonstrate general understanding of the types of energy
• must have a description of how the machine demonstrates the law of conservation of energy
• instead of Goldberg machine, use another system such as nuclear power plant, or pencil sharpener

Homework:

• Energy transformation and conservation of energy test, Thursday 3/6 or Friday 3/7 depending on when you have science
