Grade Level:
4
Subject:
Science
Goal Summary:
Discuss different types of energy (hydroelectric ,solar, potential, kinetic and geothermal)
How do the different types of energy changes form?
How do people produce electricity from other forms of energy
Standards Met:
IDs Only
Detail
Essential Questions:
How would you describe energy? And what are the different types of energy and how can energy change form?
Understandings:
Students will understand that energy changes form and that people produce electricity from different forms of energy.
Content Goals:
Describe different types of energy and tell why they are important and how people use them
Be able to discuss how energy changes form
describe sources of energy that might produce electricity as well as direct heat
Other Information:
Potential and Kinetic Energy- Energy due to an object's position and the energy of moment. Discuss the two main differences between potential and kinetic energy and also explain how one can change to another.

Hydroelectric energy- Using a dam to change the kinetic energy of falling(moving) water to electrical energy called hydroelectric energy

Geothermal energy-Using the heat underground the earth's surface to create electricity and in some cases the heat is moved through underground pipes too warm or cool the building.

Solar power- Can be used to heat buildings without special equipments, can heat water on a roof top with a solar panel and also solar panels can be used to produced electricity
