Skill Goals:
Click to enter your skill goals. These are usually described in a 'Students will be able to' statement.
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
