Engage: Students identify different forms of energy in pictures.
Activity:
In this portion of the lesson, students will be working with a partner to observe and discuss the different forms of energy in an interactive activity. One strategy for facilitating student pairs may include Think, Pair, and Share, which encourages each student to think of his own ideas and then share them with a partner. Once student pairs have co-constructed their answers, they can share them with the whole group.
Instruct students to identify the forms of energy in the scene by clicking on the objects. Students should work with their partner to observe, identify, count, and discuss the different forms of energy in the scene.
Facilitation Questions:
What forms of energy did you observe?
How do you know that something has light energy? Sound energy? Heat energy?
What objects in the scene exhibit light energy? How do you know?
What objects in the scene exhibit sound energy? How do you know?
What objects in the scene exhibit heat energy? How do you know?
Where else have you seen objects that exhibit light, heat, and/or sound energy?
In what ways to do you use heat, light, and sound energy every day?
