Slide 1 / 33 Slide 2 / 33 Kindergarten 2015-12-02 www.njctl.org Slide 3 / 33 Table of Contents Slide 4 / 33 Types of Transfer Click on the topic to go to that section This presentation is designed to be used mostly as a support tool for the teacher. Slides contain pictures and words that are useful for the students to see, as well as activities for the students to do. Slides can also contain pull-tabs labeled "Teacher", which show the teacher what to do or what to explain. Most of the text written on the page is meant to be read out loud by the teacher, after which the students will respond. It is recommended that the teacher goes through every slide and reads every tab before showing the presentation. Slide 5 / 33 Slide 6 / 33 The following slides explain what energy is. is an extremely broad topic and can be difficult to explain in its full entirety to students in Kindergarten. Because of this, energy is explained in general terms and the specific sections have been omitted. To explain energy, kids are asked to get up and move around, and are then told that energy was needed to move. Return to Table of Contents
Slide 7 / 33 Slide 8 / 33 Why do we eat? We do all of those things for energy!! is what allows us and other objects to do things. Why do we sleep? Slide 9 / 33 When we move, jump, play, and run, we are using energy. Slide 10 / 33 Things like clocks, cars, and toys all require energy, too. They move, just like us. Slide 11 / 33 1 Do we need energy to play? Slide 12 / 33 2 Do clocks need energy to move?
Slide 13 / 33 Slide 14 / 33 Do we need energy to do activities? Types of Return to Table of Contents Slide 15 / 33 The following slides teach the idea that there are two different types of energy: one is dependent on the height of the object in reference to the ground, and the other type is dependent on the speed of the object. Interactive activities and two different labs are used to explain this to the students. Slide 16 / 33 Lab We are going to drop and throw balls into a flower pit or a sand pit in order to explain the different qualities of energy. Slide 17 / 33 Types of Objects can have a lot of energy, or they can have a little energy. Slide 18 / 33 Height As an object gets higher, it gets more energy. This energy can possibly depend on two different things: height and speed. height speed
Slide 19 / 33 Height Where will the ball have the least amount of energy? Where will it have the most? Slide 20 / 33 Speed As an object moves faster, it also gets more energy. Which thing below has more energy? Slide 21 / 33 3 Is it true that the higher an object is off the ground, the less energy it has? Slide 22 / 33 4 Is it true that the faster an object is, the more energy it has? Slide 23 / 33 Slide 24 / 33 Transfer The following slides teach the idea that energy can move from one place to another. Specifically, it only does this by using the Sun as an analogy. At the end of this section, students should understand that when they go outside, they feel warm in the Sun due to energy transfer. They should also understand that they can stop this energy transfer by moving behind an object, shielding them from the Sun's rays. Return to Table of Contents
Slide 25 / 33 Transfer Slide 26 / 33 Transfer can move from one object to another. We are going to use the sun in order to show what energy transfer is. Actually, every time we go outside, we feel energy reaching us. Can you guess how? Slide 27 / 33 Transfer This plant loves to be in the light of the sun. Place it in the sun rays so that it can receive some of the energy. Slide 28 / 33 Transfer We feel energy through the Sun! Let's go feel this energy transfer. Slide 29 / 33 5 Can energy be transferred from the Sun to us? Slide 30 / 33 Transfer It is possible to block some of the energy transfer from the Sun. For example, why do we not feel the warmth of the sun when we are inside? Why does it suddenly become colder when we go under an umbrella or behind a tree?
Slide 31 / 33 Transfer We are actually blocking the Sun's rays, stopping most of the energy transfer that we experienced when we went outside in the Sun. Slide 32 / 33 Transfer w, let's try to build our own thing that can stop us from feeling the heat of the Sun. This is similar to how closing a door stops you from going into a room. Slide 33 / 33 6 Is it true that going behind an object can stop us from feeling all of the warmth of the Sun.
