Content Standard: H. Energy
Students will understand concepts of energy.
Common Assessment(s):

Performance Indicators Students will be able to:	Essential Elements (Specific grade level learning objectives)			Suggested Performance Activities	Suggested Classroom Assessments	Vocabulary
1. Identify different forms of energy (e.g., light, sound, heat)	Light and heat energy come from the sun. Light and sound energy move in waves. Types of energy: alight, heat, sound, solar, mechanical, electrical			Students will discuss different forms of energy that can be observed when you light a match. Maine LAD Task: Energy Everywhere	Given an object (toy, flashlight, ball), students will explain what type of energy can be demonstrated.	battery circuits conduct energy energy form negative positive produce vibration energy wire
2. Explain ways different forms of energy can be produced.	Electrical energy can be changed into heat, light, sound, chemical and mechanical energy. When particles rub together, a charge builds and energy is produced.			Students will list and categorize evidence of energy in their lives. (ex., computer: heat, light, sound, electrical)	Students will prove that sounds are caused by vibrational energy (ex., rubber band.) Students will match forms of energy and their descriptions on pictures.
