STRAND
4 (B) Matter and Energy. (iii) Energy resources are available on a renewable, nonrenewable, or indefinite basis. Understanding the origins and uses of these resources enables informed decision making. Students should consider the ethical/social issues surrounding Earth's natural energy resources, while looking at the advantages and disadvantages of their long-term uses.

Knowledge and Skills
(A) research and debate the advantages and disadvantages of using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and solar resources; and (B) design a logical plan to manage energy resources in the home, school, or community.
 * (7) Matter and energy. The student knows that some of Earth's energy resources are available on a nearly perpetual basis, while others can be renewed over a relatively short period of time. Some energy resources, once depleted, are essentially nonrenewable. The student is expected to: **

4(C) Force, motion, and energy. Energy occurs in two types, potential and kinetic, and can take several forms. Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. It can also be changed from one form to another. Students will investigate the relationship between force and motion using a variety of means, including calculations and measurements.

Knowledge and Skills
(A) compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy; (B) identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces; (C) calculate average speed using distance and time measurements; (D) measure and graph changes in motion; and (E) investigate how inclined planes and pulleys can be used to change the amount of force to move an object. (A) investigate methods of thermal energy transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation; (B) verify through investigations that thermal energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer to cooler until all the substances attain the same temperature such as an ice cube melting; and (C) demonstrate energy transformations such as energy in a flashlight battery changes from chemical energy to electrical energy to light energy.
 * (8) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows force and motion are related to potential and kinetic energy. The student is expected to: **
 * (9) Force, motion, and energy. The student knows that the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just changes form. The student is expected to: **

Needs: 7B-design a logical plan to manage energy resources in home, etc; conduction/convection/radiation lab; measure force to calculate motion; define unbalanced forces; calculate average speed; graph speed; inclined planes and pulleys lab; movement of thermal energy from warm to cool (ice cube)
