SCI.CP.5.7 2010 Explain that in exothermic chemical reactions chemical energy is converted into other forms such as thermal, electrical, light and sound energy.
SCI.CP.5.7 2010 Explain that in exothermic chemical reactions chemical energy is converted into other forms such as thermal, electrical, light and sound energy.
SCI.CP.8 2010 - Society (Energy production, environment, economics): Understand the impact of energy production and use on society and the environment.
SCI.CP.8.1 2010 Describe how energy needs have changed throughout history and how energy needs are met in modern society.
SCI.CP.8.2 2010 Describe the benefits and risks of the development of non-renewable forms of energy such as coal, oil, natural gas and uranium fission sources. (biofuels)
SCI.CP.8.3 2010 Describe the benefits and risks of the development of renewable forms of energy such as solar energy, wind-energy, geothermal energy, fusion energy and biofuels.

Communication Plan
Students will see that day's standards and objectives each day when they log on to the Learning Management System. Through the use of journaling, next-time questions, and one summative assessment, students will communicate how they achieved the objectives for the unit, and how those objectives are connected to the standards. Students are required to write these down and reflect on them. These assessments are intimately linked to the students' understanding of the standards and objectives, and students will be documenting their understanding of each objective, and how they are linked to the standards. This is a "less is more" approach, where students are given more responsibility for their learning.
