Welcome back Parents and Students,
This week we are moving into Energy. Our TEKS state that the student knows that energy occurs in many forms. The student is expected to differentiate among forms of energy including light, heat, electrical, and solar energy;
Check out this link, it has hundreds of resources connected to Energy. When you enter this link it looks like a kids bedroom, but take a few minutes and check out the different links that come up as you move the mouse over different objects. I think you will be amazed.
One form of energy is electrical. Electricity is just one source of energy that we use every day. This week students learned how important electricity is and also how dangerous it can be. Click on the links below to play a couple of games on electrical safety. In these games the student has to identify dangerous situations, see if you can find all of them.

Hazards of Voltageville .
Natural Gas is another form of energy that is very useful to us. Just like electricity natural gas needs to be handled safely. Here is a link about natural gas safety that will be a good activity for your students to explore.
Next students will explored solar and light energy. We discussed solar energy and how we get heat from this type of energy. This is a perfect time to reintroduce the greenhouse effect on the earth. The following activity will be done in class this week. Recreate the Greenhouse effect.
Students together listed some of the problems we are facing with the greenhouse effect on the earth. Your student should be able to recognize the different types of energy and their uses.
