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 drinksHere is another about
burning energy while you sleepHere is possible demo called the
electric wand remember to ask a testable question like, "Does a longer wand work better?"
