7.P2U1.2

In this unit, students focus on the science phenomena of the relationship between gravity and motion, tracing how gravitational potential energy transforms to kinetic energy in different energy systems. In this lesson, they investigate the relationship between the drop height of a bouncy ball and its rebound height. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students analyze the phenomena that have shaped Earth’s surface, analyzing how gravitational energy moves glaciers, which have sculpted the land over time. This page showcases elements of the first lesson which focuses on glacier motion.

In this unit, students connect their explorations of Earth and life sciences with physical sciences with an exploration into the science phenomena of magnetism and electricity. They investigate magnetic fields and electromagnets in this lesson. This page showcases key parts of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore the interconnectedness of the living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem phenomena. In this lesson, they design an experiment to test how heat is transferred in different materials found on the rocky shore. This page provides a brief overview of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore phenomena related to the relationship between forces and motion and how energy is converted from one form to another in an energy system. This page is a high-level extract of the first lesson from this unit which has students investigating the connection between an object’s mass and the force needed to change its motion.

In this unit, students analyze the science phenomena of connections between energy, forces, and motion. In this lesson, students use data to construct an explanation about phenomena that occur because of the relationships between an object’s kinetic energy, its mass, and its speed. This page provides an overview of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore the relationship between the phenomena of forces and motion and how energy is converted from one form to another in an energy system. In this lesson, students design a vehicle that can travel over a surface on a cushion of air. This page highlights key parts of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore technological systems, focusing on the phenomena of how information is transmitted in a communication system. This page is a high-level extract of the first lesson in this unit.

In this unit, students connect their explorations of Earth and life sciences with physical sciences with an exploration into the relationship between magnetism and electricity. In this lesson, they explore the interactions between magnets and electricity. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore how communication systems transmit information from one person or place to another. In this lesson, students use what they know about the science phenomena of electromagnets and magnetic fields to design a speaker, a common decoding device in many audio technologies. This page highlights key components of this lesson.

In this unit, students are introduced to the phenomena of magnetic and electric fields as they explore how objects can interact with other objects without coming into contact with them. For this lesson, students apply scientific concepts to engineer wind turbines that use a generator to produce electricity. This page provides an overview of this lesson.
