Conservation of Energy (ELL)

Practice Tier 2 academic vocabulary for conservation of energy: closed/open systems, transfers, transformations, kinetic, potential, and thermal energy. All activities reuse the same ELL-friendly definitions.

Standards

  • MS-PS3-2Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system.
  • MS-PS3-5Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object.

NGSS = Next Generation Science Standards. This vocabulary is also written to support WIDA's Standard 4 (Science) English Language Development standard.

Beginner ELL Core Idea

  • Energy moves.
  • Energy changes form.
  • Energy is not lost.
