Overview+-+Energy+(Module1+Lesson+4)

=**Module 1, Lesson 7: Energy** = 1. Learning Goals
 * Participants will explore the various forms of energy.
 * Participants will demonstrate how energy can be transformed from one form to other forms.
 * Participants will compare and contrast open, closed, and isolated systems.

2. Success Criteria
 * I can differentiate among the various forms of energy.
 * I can describe how energy can be transformed from one form to others.
 * I can explain to others similarities and differences between open, closed, and isolated system.

3. Essential Concepts and Skills
 * Design and conduct scientific investigations.
 * Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications.
 * Recognize and analyze alternative explanations and models.
 * Understand and apply knowledge of motions and forces.

4. Universal Constructs
 * Critical Thinking: (Students will be evaluating, adjusting and creating their Rube Goldberg machine and thinking through the online interactive Rube Goldberg machine.
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Complex Communication: (Rube Goldberg conferencing, online discussions)
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Collaboration:(Supporting each other in the building of the Rube Goldberg machine in the classroom by working in collaborative groups)
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Creativity: ( Build and create their own Rube Goldberg machine)
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Flexibility and Adaptability: (Choose to do the Extra Credit Lesson.)
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Productivity and Accountability: (Planning and prioritizing to build the Rube Goldberg machine and acquiring additional learning with the online portion)

<span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">5. Characteristics of Effective Instruction.
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Student-centered classroom: Teacher facilitates student learning while students complete online learning portion and collaborative work on Rube Goldberg machine.
 * <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Teaching for understanding: Students apply newly learned knowledge of energy by interacting with online examples of representative models of different types of energy and systems.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Assessment for learning: Formative assessment opportunities are completed by the student during online learning portion of lesson. Summative assessment opportunities from peers and the teacher are included in the making of the <span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rube Goldberg machine.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rigor and relevance in curriculum Teaching for learner differences: Students can work at their own pace and depth by working online and by completing the Extra Credit Lesson.
