As we continue in our Wave Energy unit, we will talk this week about some different types of energies and how energy is converted from one form to another. Monday we will finish our Energy Investigation Lab and discuss potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy. Tuesday we will do a short activity to figure out how energy is changed from one form to another. Then on Wednesday we will start talking about heat, temperature, and thermal energy. We will use the computer to investigate, "What is Heat?" and do an activity to learn about what thermometers actually measure.
