Learning Goal #1:

Understand that Energy Exists in a variety of Forms of Both Natural and Technological
Outcomes as given by Alberta Program of Studies
Science 10

Illustrate, by use of examples from natural and technological systems, that energy exists in a variety of
forms
Describe evidence for the presence of energy i.e. observable physical and chemical changes in motion,
shape or temperature

Mathematics 10C

Interpret and explain the relationships among data, graphs and situations.
Demonstrate an understanding of relations and functions.
Describe and represent linear relations, using:
words
ordered pairs
tables of values
graphs
Understandings: Students will understand
Essential Questions:
that
Where does energy exist?
Different forms of energy exists and the
How can we recognize the presence of energy?
importance that energy sources have within
How can we represent the presence of energy?
society
What forms does energy exist in?
There are different ways of representing and
How do we collect, represent, and
recording data to display observations
communicate data?
Graphical data can be a universal way of
communicating information

Students will know:

Students will be able to:

Energy can be found in a variety of forms both

simple and complex
The major energy forms that society uses
(mechanical, chemical, thermal, nuclear, solar)
The presence of energy can be recognized in
different way
What factors determine an independent variable
What factors determine a dependant variable

Summative Assessment:

Determine if energy is present through

explanations using claims and evidence
Illustrate the presence of energy graphically
Read a graph to determine the presence of
energy
Interpret and convert data into a table of values
and determine independent and dependent
variables
Compare and contrast the broader list of energy
sources at a general level

Assessment Evidence
Formative Assessment:

Graphs submitted from exploration lab of

energy forms
Lab write up

Final presentation (ongoing) (Rubric)

Circulating room during energy activity

Class discussion on energy activity

Review of previous days concepts (think-pairshare)

Learning Guideline
Proposed Activities:

Go outside the classroom and have students create a list of the different types of energy that they see
Lab: How to power a light bulb! (using different sources of energy) (write up with graph)
Class discussion of how lab energy sources are found in the big picture
Applying knowledge learned in data collection to different situations (i.e. worksheet with questions)
Begin working on presentation in groups
Digital awareness session with librarian

Apply library session learning to start research for specific energy source in line with the learning
outcome (what form is it existing in)
