New Science Unit

We began our new science unit today: Energy.
This unit will have three parts: an energy overview, wind energy, and solar energy.
Students wrote and shared what they think they know about energy and what they want to learn.  They took a pre-assessment and they worked on creating their own definitions for energy.  Then we read a bit about different forms of energy, highlighting main points along the way.  I think they were surprised to learn that there is the same amount of energy in the world today as there always has been.  I think it's fascinating!
