SC.7.P.11.2: Investigate and describe the transformation of energy from one form to another. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Analyze different transformations of energy within systems, i.e., in a flashlight, in an energy pyramid, in renewable and nonrenewable sources to electricity that powers everyday appliances, or from within the sun to plants. Create energy pathways to show where our energy comes from. Describe the flow of energy (pathway) in everyday examples such as cooking, riding a bike, using cell phone, fireworks reacting, or camp fires burning. 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. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Design and complete an investigation that compares what happens to the temperature of can of soda covered in ice and a cup of hot coffee left on a table. Explain the flow of heat that resulted in the change in temperature for each part of the investigation. Create a graphic organizer that illustrates how heat flows when ice is added to a cup of hot tea and when a beaker of water is placed on a hot plate. SC.7.L.15.2: Explore the scientific theory of evolution by recognizing and explaining ways in which genetic variation and environmental factors contribute to evolution by natural selection and diversity of organisms. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Design an activity that shows how the Peppered Moth can blend into its environment and explain what happens to the moths that can’t blend. Explain why the ability to camouflage contributes to the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection and diversity of organisms. Design an experiment that demonstrates the benefits of different types of evolutionary adaptations such camouflage. Investigate and write to explain the genetic and environmental factors that affect population changes in an ecosystem, allowing some to survive and pass their traits to their offspring. Sometimes this results in the changing of a species over time.
