STANDARDS:
-Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
-Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
-Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
-Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
1. Where does the spider get its energy from?
2. Is the spider using energy to make its web and attack its prey?
3. Is this prey a good source of energy/food for the spider?

Energy (Part 1)
Welcome to our 5-week course materials for Energy! We have everything teachers need to teach Kindergarten students about this fun topic. An advised lesson plan would be: Monday-PowerPoint, Tuesday-Video & Video Questions, Wednesday-Labs & Activities, Thursday-Readings, and Friday-Quiz!
Modeling your Thinking
Students will learn how energy is different from dark colors to light colors. Using different colored paper, students will demonstrate how energy can be transferred from one object to another, by melting an ice cube. Finally, ask the students what would YOU wear on a warm day? A black colored t-shirt or a white colored t-shirt. The experiment should show that they would wear a white colored shirt on a warm day because, it reflects light rather than a black shirt that would absorb light!
