Description

CLICK HERE to access the Energy Forms and Changes Phet Simulation that is utilized for both activities. This activity/lab focuses on Energy Changes, Thermal Energy, Energy Transfer, Heat Transfer, Temperature, Solids, Liquids, Gases, Conservation fo Energy, Chemical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Light Energy, and Electrical Energy.

These activities can be used together or separately AND as a digital resource or a printable resource in conjunction with the digital laboratory simulation. It is a fully customizable Google Doc if you want to adjust parts to make it more suitable for your students. It requires NO PREP! Students will need access the internet to utilize the Phet Simulation in order to complete this guided exploration activity. This includes multiple screenshots and clear guidance of how to utilize the simulation to ensure students grasp all potential learning opportunities. This was designed for use with middle school students, but could also be utilized with upper elementary (grades 3, 4, 5) or high school students in Physical Science. Answer Key Included.

NGSSMS-PS3-4

Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample. Examples of experiments could include comparing final water temperatures after different masses of ice melted in the same volume of water with the same initial temperature, the temperature change of samples of different materials with the same mass as they cool or heat in the environment, or the same material with different masses when a specific amount of energy is added. Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.

NGSS5-PS1-3

Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. Examples of materials to be identified could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. Examples of properties could include color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility; density is not intended as an identifiable property. Assessment does not include density or distinguishing mass and weight.

NGSS4-PS3-4

Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another. Examples of devices could include electric circuits that convert electrical energy into motion energy of a vehicle, light, or sound; and, a passive solar heater that converts light into heat. Examples of constraints could include the materials, cost, or time to design the device. Devices should be limited to those that convert motion energy to electric energy or use stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.

NGSSHS-PS3-4

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics). Emphasis is on analyzing data from student investigations and using mathematical thinking to describe the energy changes both quantitatively and conceptually. Examples of investigations could include mixing liquids at different initial temperatures or adding objects at different temperatures to water. Assessment is limited to investigations based on materials and tools provided to students.

NGSSMS-PS1-4

Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. Emphasis is on qualitative molecular-level models of solids, liquids, and gases to show that adding or removing thermal energy increases or decreases kinetic energy of the particles until a change of state occurs. Examples of models could include drawings and diagrams. Examples of particles could include molecules or inert atoms. Examples of pure substances could include water, carbon dioxide, and helium.
