Energy: The U.S. In Crisis?
Students research and assess past, present, and future decisions related to energy shortages. They evaluate economic, political, and social impacts that led California to its near critical energy situation.
Curated OER
Energy
Learners see that energy is everywhere in nature - in the light of the sun, in wind, in falling water and erupting volcanoes. Without energy, there is no life. This lesson provides many good ideas across the curriculum to study energy.
Curated OER
Energy Conversions: Science and the Use of Energy
Students consider the concept of energy and its sources. They study how energy is converted for use and how it is managed and conserved.
Curated OER
What is Thermal Energy
In this thermal energy worksheet, students will complete a Venn Diagram comparing thermal energy characteristics with temperature characteristics.
Curated OER
Matter and Energy
In this matter and energy worksheet, students will complete 10 questions about the transfer of energy through a food chain, the steps of the water cycle, and how the nitrogen cycle works.
