🔬 4.2.3 & 4.2.4: Episode 6 - Gather & Reason

Performance Expectation: You will plan and carry out investigations and develop a model to explain how light (energy) is transferred from place to place and converted to a another form of energy..

Phenomenon: I have heard that black cars are hotter than other cars.

Gather: Develop questions to investigate how a black car would have more thermal energy than a white car.

1. 1. 1. 1. Record your questions in your science journal. 

Gather: Plan and carry out an investigation to determine why a black car might have more thermal energy than a white car.

1. 1. 1. 1. Plan your investigation. Record your plan in your science journal.
         2. Carry out the investigation. Record the data in your science journal.

Gather: Obtain information about the transfer and transformation of energy on Black and White Cars on a hot day.

1. 1. 1. 1. Watch the video to obtain information. 
         2. Record your observations in your science journal. 

Reason: Analyze your data to determine why a black car has more thermal energy than a white car in the sunlight. 

1. 1. 1. 1. Record your answer to the following question in your science journal...
            1. What rules are needed to be followed for electrical energy to be transferred? 
               
               

Reason: Develop a model of the transfers and transformations of energy that occur in the system to warm the cars.

1. 1. 1. 1. Draw your model in your science journal.
