energy than others using the materials provided. State your hypothesis. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Carry out the experiment you designed. Submit a completed lab report to your teacher. Evaluate Use the Evidence & rubric to defend your claims when writing your “Claim, Reasoning” conclusion. SSA Connection Why does it get so hot inside a car parked in the Sun? Sunlight heats the roof which then heats the interior. The air around the car is heated which heats up the car. Energy from light waves is trapped inside the car as heat energy. The light waves attract heat from the surrounding ground or pavement. Anna turned on a light in her room. What types of energy are produced by the light bulb as it burns? light energy and heat energy electrical energy and light energy heat energy and electrical energy light energy and mechanical energy Andrea held her hand up in front of a light and a shadow in the shape of her hand appeared on the opposite wall. What property of light explains why the shadow appeared? Light passes through all objects. Light travels in a straight line. Light bends around objects in its path. Light waves are refracted by solid objects. A large amount of energy is emitted from the Sun. This energy then travels millions of miles from the Sun to the Earth. The energy that comes from the Sun is best categorized as what type of energy? potential energy kinetic energy mechanical energy radiant energy This activity may be performed indoors on window sills or with lamps connected to ring stands Teacher on countertops. If you prefer outside, do the lab on a concrete surface with direct sun exposure. Note: 1. Be sure to assist students in making connections with these standards: SC.7.P.11.3 Cite evidence to explain that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another. SC.7.P.11.4 Observe and describe that heat flows in predictable ways, moving from warmer objects to cooler ones until they reach the same temperature. (AA)
