Science 8 Unit 5: Relationships among Forms of Energy
Student Learning Objectives: Michigan K-12 Science Standards for Middle School
MS-PS3-1 Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object.
MS-PS3-2 Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
MS-PS3-5 Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.

Post Lab Summary in your science notebook Explain how the energy from a container of hot water transfers through a metal rod into a container of cooler water. Key Words to use in paragraph: collision and conduction |
Conduction is like a relay race where particles "hand off" something (energy, electrons, vibrations, etc.) from one to another.
