Science Unit: Physics (6 weeks)
TEKS and Objectives for Unit:
6.9 A - Identify energy transformations occuring during the production
of energy for human use (such as electrical energy to heat energy or heat
energy to electrical energy).
6.9 B - Compare methods used for transforming energy in devices (such
as water heaters, cooling systems, or hydroelectric and wind power plants).
6.9 C - Research and describe energy types from their source to
their use and determine if the type is renewable, nonrenewable, or
inexhaustible.
6.6 A - Identify and describe the changes in position, direction
of motion, and speed of an object when acted upon by force.
6.6 B - Demonstrate that changes in motion can be measured and
graphically represented.
