Strand 1: Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy
2. Energy has a source, can be transferred, and transformed into various forms but is
conserved between and within systems
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Forms of energy have a
source, a means of transfer (work and
heat) and a receiver
a. Construct and diagram a complete
electric circuit by using a source (e.g.,
battery), a means of transfer (e.g.,
wires), and a receiver (e.g., resistance
bulbs, motors, fans).

a. Using wire, battery, and bulb, students will
make a closed circuit. Students will make a
diagram of their circuit. (2.4)
a. Students will demonstrate to the class how
their electrical circuit works.
b. Observe and describe the evidence of
energy transfer in a closed series circuit
(e.g., lit bulb, moving motor or fan).

b. In cooperative groups, using wire, battery,
and bulb, students will make a closed circuit.
Students will make a diagram of their circuit.
(4.6)
b. Students will test your electrical circuit to see
if the bulb lights up.
c. Classify materials as conductors or
insulators of electricity when placed
within a circuit (e.g. wood, pencil lead,
plastic, glass, aluminum foil, lemon
juice, air, water).

c. Students will make a T- chart and decide if
the objects are conductors or insulators of
electricity. Attach salt water to the electrical
circuit. Students will continue with other
items wood, pencils, glass etc. (1.2; 2.6)
c. Students will decide the best manner for the
cooperative group to share results with the
class.

Concept F: Energy can change from one
form to another within systems but the
total amount remains the same
a. Identify the evidence of energy
transformations (temperature change,
light, sound, motion, and magnetic
effects) that occur in electrical circuits.
C9

a. Students will create an electrical circuit an
tell why the bulb lights up. (2.5)
a. Students will demonstrate how the light bulb
lights up. Teacher checks for understanding.
