Elementary Energy Infobook Activities


Content Standard B | Physical science � Properties of Objects and Materials

� Objects have many observable properties, including size, weight, shape, color, temperature, and the ability to react with other substances. Those properties can be measured using tools, such as rulers, balances, and thermometers.

� Position and Motion of Objects � The position of an object can be described by locating it relative to another object or the background. � The position and motion of objects can be changed by pushing or pulling. The size of the change is related to the strength of the push or pull. � Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The pitch of the sound can be varied by changing the rate of vibration.

� Light, Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism � Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object. � Heat can be produced in many ways, such as burning, rubbing, or mixing one substance with another. Heat can move from one object to another by conduction.

� Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.

Content Standard D | earth and sPace science � Properties of Earth Materials

� Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere. The varied materials have different physical and chemical properties, which make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use as food. Earth materials provide many of the resources that humans use.

Content Standard B | Physical Science � Transfer of Energy

� Energy is a property of many substances and is associated with heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound, nuclei, and the nature of a chemical. Energy is transferred in many ways.

� Heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. � Light interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction), absorption, or scattering (including reflection). To see an object, light from that object—emitted by or scattered from it—must enter the eye.

� Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy when heat, light, sound, and chemical changes are produced. � In most chemical and nuclear reactions, energy is transferred into or out of a system. Heat, light mechanical motion, or electricity might all be involved in such transfers.

� The sun is a major source of energy for changes on the Earth’s surface. The sun loses energy by emitting light. A tiny fraction of that light reaches the Earth, transferring energy from the sun to the Earth. The sun’s energy arrives as light with a range of wavelengths, consisting of visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation.

Content Standard D | earth and sPace science � Earth and Space Science

� The solid Earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core. � Water, which covers the majority of Earth’s surface, circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere in what is known as the “water cycle.” Water evaporates from the Earth’s surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow, and falls to the surface where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and in rocks underground.

� Water is a solvent. As it passes through the water cycle it dissolves minerals and gases and carries them to the oceans.

� Earth in the Solar System � The sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on the Earth’s surface, such as growth of plants, winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle. Seasons result from variations in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the surface, due to the tilt of the Earth’s rotation on its axis and the length of the day.

Teacher GuideBackgroundElementary Energy Infobook Activities is a series of student worksheets designed to reinforce the vocabulary and information in the Elementary Energy Infobook.

TimeApproximately fifteen minutes to one-half hour for the students to read the selected infosheet and complete the worksheets.

Skills�Nonfiction Reading �Critical Thinking�Vocabulary�Graphing

Preparation�Decide which infosheets from the Elementary Energy Infobook and which worksheets from this guide you will use with your class.

�Obtain a class set of the Elementary Energy Infobooks or make copies as necessary. The Elementary Energy Infobook can also be downloaded from www.NEED.org.

�Make copies of the worksheets you plan to use.

Procedure1. Distribute one infosheet and one of each selected worksheet to each student.

2. Have the students read the selected infosheet. Discuss the concepts and new vocabulary in the infosheet.

3. Have the students complete the selected worksheets.

4. Once students have read all of the energy source infosheets and completed the worksheets for each source, have the students complete the worksheets on pages 18-23. These worksheets reinforce and synthesize the information in the infosheets.

5. Have students read about electricity in the Elementary Energy Infobook, then have students complete the worksheets on pages 24-27. These worksheets reinforce electricity concepts and vocabulary.

6. Critical Thinking Questions are included on page 6. You may choose to use any or all questions with your students.
