Unit 2: Forms and Transformations of Energy

STANDARD: S8P2   Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the law of conservation of energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system. 

ELEMENT: S8P2.a   Analyze and interpret data to create graphical displays that illustrate the relationships of kinetic energy to mass and speed, and potential energy tot.

LEARNING TARGETS:

1. I can define speed, energy and mass. (Knowledge)
2. I can explain the relationship of kinetic energy to mass and speed. (Reasoning)
3. I can explain the relationship of potential energy to mass and height of an object.  (Reasoning)
4. I can analyze and interpret data to create graphical displays that illustrate the relationship of kinetic energy to mass and speed. (Reasoning)
5. I can analyze and interpret data to create graphical displays that illustrate the relationship of gravitational potential energy to mass and height of an object. (Reasoning)
