Notes / Activity
Activity:
Ask students to work in a group to imagine what today would be like if there were no electricity (permanently, not just a blackout situation). Get the groups to develop a timeline describing what this typical day might be like.
PS3.B: Energy is present whenever there are moving objects, sound, light, or heat. When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. In such collisions, some energy is typically also transferred to the surrounding air; as a result, the air gets heated and sound is produced. (4-PS3-2),(4-PS3-3)
By the end of this lesson, the student should able to:
Where do we get our energy from? (Food)
Where do you think plants get their energy from? (Sun)
Will the energy from the sun run out? Why?
Give students some time to discuss and share their answers.
Where does it get its energy from? How do you know?
