Science Article - Forms of Energy

Science Articles  

Read a science based article.  Learn how Science is happening in our daily lives and how it relates to you. You can get your information from a newspaper, magazine or from the internet.  
It should be handwritten NEATLY or typed and shared with my pconsidine@pershing220.org account.  

 Follow these simple steps to make an A!
1) Summarize the article in 5-7 sentences (i.e. What is the article about?)
2) How does this affect us? (1 sentence min.)
3) Why is this important? (1 sentence min.)
4) How is this science related? (1 sentence min.)
5) Pick a science word and write its definition.  Use a dictionary or www.dictionary.com 
6) Draw a picture!
7) Make sure to include your source.  i.e. Where did you get your information from?  website url, magazine title and date, newspaper title and date

C2 - ENERGY videos!!

1. Watch the cartoon and learn about Potential and Kinetic Energy!

2. I used to watch this carton when I was a kid.  It's still relevant today, because it's based on Scientific Laws; Scientific Laws remain constant ALWAYS.  Think of the law of gravity, a million years ago, stuff was falling down, and a million years later it'll be falling down too.  Potential and Kinetic Energy are based on Scientific Laws too.  Enjoy!
