Learning Objective 6.4 The student will investigate and understand that there are
basic sources of energy
and that energy can be transformed. Key ideas include
a) the sun is important in the formation of most energy sources
on Earth;
b) Earth’s energy budget relates to living systems and Earth’s
processes;
c) radiation, conduction, and convection distribute energy; and
d) energy transformations are important in energy usage.
(What is bolded will be my focus for this activity.)
Pedagogy
Online Activity This activity will supplement and enhance students’ knowledge
of the content of this SOL. The simulation creates a real-life
situation that will allow the students to have first-hand
experience with energy and how its basic forms change.
For assessment after the activity (with live screencast still on),
an online discussion will be held for the students to discuss the
systems of energy they used. This will be opportunity for them
to ask questions to clarify content, or questions that come to
their mind out of their own interest.
