Unit 3 Energy Transformation: Non-Living Systems




TEKS: 6.8a, 6.9a Students will learn about energy in this unit. Energy is linked to being able to cause change. Almost everytime something changes there is energy involved. Energy can be found in many forms including heat, sound, electrical, solar (sun), wind, etc. Energy can also be transformed or changed from one form to another. Enjoy the activities below as you investigate energy in many forms.


*****
Learn about energy on this website. Learn what energy is, where it comes from, what it can be used for and how, and much much more. Be sure to read the whole introduction. Then read about many forms of energy in this site. You can choose how much and what types of energy to read and learn about. Click on the green energy logo to enter.



Click on the windmill picture to watch a video on wind energy. After watching the first video you can select other videos on wind energy or other forms of energy.





This game is primarily for fun. Notice the low energy light bulbs. Light is one form of energy. We transform (change) electrical energy into light. Do you remeber what other form of energy light bulbs put off. Hint: Do you ever want to grab a light bulb that has been on for a while. This game will definitely work on you hand eye coordination too. Click on the bulb to the right.
