Week 1 Energy in all its forms
















This week's science is all about ENERGY and all the forms that energy can take. One key concept (one that is sure to show up on a test) is that Energy can't be created or destroyed, it can just change form.

The forms of energy that we are studying this week are:

Nuclear (think nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs)
Electrical (wires and lightning)
Kinetic (energy of motion, like when you get hit in the nose by a Frisbee)
Chemical (gasoline in a car to an energy drink)
Thermal (heat)


Some homework suggestions...
Here is an interesting article about energy drinks
Here is another about burning energy while you sleep

Here is possible demo called the electric wand remember to ask a testable question like, "Does a longer wand work better?"


Good luck and remember, any questions... please email me at mark.russo@emid6067.net

week 8 links...

Hi there everyone... I was enjoying the January thaw and realized that I have no idea why we have a January thaw. There is no reason that things should warm up in the middle of winter every year. It is not El Nino nor El Nina so what does it happen? I am sure top minds are working on it even as we speak. If I learn more, I will get back to you... if you learn anything (or already know the answer) please let me know.
