Energy Transformations
Virtual School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand C : Matter and Energy
| C2.6 | explain how changes of state can occur when matter absorbs or releases thermal energy |
|---|
Strand E : Earth and Space Systems
| E1.1 | analyse long-term impacts of human uses of energy and natural resources, on society and the environment, including climate change, and suggest ways to mitigate these impacts |
|---|---|
| E2.1 | identify a variety of forms of energy, and describe how each form is used in everyday life |
| E2.2 | demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy, including how energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another |
| E2.3 | describe how energy is stored as potential energy and transformed in a given device or system |
| E2.4 | demonstrate an understanding that when energy is transformed from one form to another, some energy may dissipate into the environment in the form of heat, light, and/or sound energy |
| E2.5 | identify renewable and non-renewable sources of energy |
| E2.6 | explain how the use of energy derived from fossil fuels changes the composition of the atmosphere and how these changes contribute to climate change |
Strand C : Matter and Energy
| C1.1 | assess the short- and long-term impacts of electrical energy generation technologies in Canada on society and the environment, including impacts on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, and on climate change |
|---|---|
| C2.3 | identify materials that are good conductors of electric current and materials that are good insulators |
| C2.4 | describe how technologies transform various forms of energy into electrical energy |
| C2.5 | describe ways in which electrical energy is transformed into other forms of energy |
Sensory Considerations
This program features moderate to loud noises and brief flashes of bright light.
