4th 6 Weeks

__Week #1__ 01/07/09 CO: Students will learn to compare/contrast heat transfer, conduction, convection, radiation, heat & temperature. LO: Students develop write 4-corner vocabulary pages & develop a Venn diagram or a Bull's Eye diagram. Key vocabulary: radiation, conduction, convection, heat transfer, heat, temperature 01/08/09 CO: Students will utilize a scenario with a styrofoam cup/metal cup to develop an Experiment. LO: Students will discuss and fill out an EDD and develop the procedure for the experiment. 01/09/09 CO: Students will execute an experiment to determine which material retains the heat. LO: Students will execute an experiment, record their results, and develop a graph of the results. Students will compare their results with other teams.

__Week #2__ 01/12/09 CO: Students will analyze a diagram of a cup with hot liquid as it loses heat, graph data for the experiment, and develop a Lab Report. LO: Students will use the words conduction, convection, and radiation to indicate the heat transfer in the cup, create a graph using data from an experiment, discuss the results of the graph, and use a graphic organizer with sentence starters to complete a lab report for Lab Report for the Styrofoam/Metal Cup Lab. 01/13/09 CO: Students will complete a Lab Report. LO: Students will discuss the experiment and complete a lab report using a graphic organizer with sentence starters. Key vocabulary: radiation, conduction, convection 01/14/09 CO: Students will complete a Lab Report. LO: Students will discuss the experiment and complete a lab report using a graphic organizer with sentence starters. Key vocabulary: radiation, conduction, convection 01/15/09 CO: Students will learn about potential and kinetic energy. LO: Students will view/listen/read a brain pop on potential and kinetic energy. Students will calculate potential and kinetic energy. Students will analyze a graph to determine where the potential/kinetic energy is at is highest/lowest. 01/16/09 CO: Students will analyze various scenarios to determine where potential and kinetic energy is highest/lowest. LO: Discuss with each other where potential and kinetic energy is highest/lowest and why. Key vocabulary: potential energy, kinetic energy, mass, velocity, gravity, height, law of conservation of energy.
