High School Weekly Lesson Plan Template Week of: 4/21/24 *for additional curriculum information, please visit the district's resource High School Pacing Guides or Georgia Standards of Excellence Course Name: Modified Physical Science Monday SPS7. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain transformations and flow of energy within a system. a. Construct explanations for energy transformations within a system. (Clarification statement: Types of energy to be addressed include chemical, mechanical, electromagnetic, light, sound, thermal, electrical, and nuclear.) b. Plan and carry out investigations to describe how molecular motion relates to thermal energy changes in terms of conduction, convection, and radiation. Learning Targets: SPS7b: We are learning to investigate the relationship between thermal energy and molecular motion in terms of convection, conduction, and radiation. Success Criteria: I will know I am successful when I can . . . Relate molecular motion to state of matter. Define and describe convection in terms of moving gases and liquids. Define and describe conduction in terms of direct contact between molecules. Define and describe radiation in terms of the movement of energy between molecules. Generate an explanation for the type of thermal energy transfer in given situations Lesson/Activity -Daily 10 Questions -Unit 7 Study Guide and Review Games - Quiz tomorrow!
