Direct Instruction Station Monday/Tuesday (30 minutes)
THESE ARE THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS WE ARE ADDRESSING DURING THIS UNIT:
MS-PS3-3 Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. MS-PS3-4 Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measure by the temperature of the sample. MS-PS3-5 Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. MS-PSS2-4 Develop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by the energy from the sun and the force of gravity. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Write these learning objectives in your Science Notebook. 1. I will be able to model the transfers and transformations of energy that can happen when the kinetic energy of an object changes. 2. I will gather evidence to explain how the motion of a crank on a hand-powered flashlight produces light. |

tips for writing response to roadway:
Cite your evidence! When you are asked to analyze a scientific text and give evidence to support your conclusions, remember these tips:
- Connect ideas to make your sentences easy to read and understand.
- You can add details to make your sentences better.
- You can put sentences together to connect ideas that go together.
- Take out words that don’t add new meaning to your sentences.
- Think about what you have read, including the central idea and supporting details. You may want to reread the text to refresh your memory.
- Determine which details in the text support your conclusions. Remember that opinions are not scientific evidence.
- Be sure the evidence you cite is relevant and supports your conclusions. Do not include unrelated details.
- Include any statistics, data, or examples that would be needed to support your conclusions.
- Connect ideas to make your sentences easy to read and understand.
- You can add details to make your sentences better.
- You can put sentences together to connect ideas that go together.

- Many of us have seen water change from a solid to a liquid and from a liquid to a gas, and we know that other substances undergo similar transformations. These changes are usually a result of either heating or cooling. In this video, students visit a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where scientists study a substance that changes state without a change of temperature. The video provides a good view of how primary scientific research can inform choices for engineers.
