Concept Mapping (energy transformations)

Students pick a few devices and create concept maps for how energy is transformed/ transferred from one form to another and where energy might be "lost" (the energy was not "useful") (ex. flashlight, fan, microwave etc.)

Application Students are assessed on how they used knowledge from their lives to connect what they know about these devices and their energy transformations

Communication Students are assessed on how well they communicated their thoughts and ideas in the concept map. How easy is their concept map to follow?

Knowledge / Understanding Students are assessed on their knowledge of the correct energy transformations

Thinking / Inquiry Students are assessed on how they analyze and think critically about the devices to determine where energy losses might occur

1. Ramp Lab (Potential energy -> Kinetic energy) 2. Spring Lab (Elastic Energy -> Kinetic energy) 3. Wind turbine lab (Kinetic -> electrical)

Assessment for Learning
