Prepare the thermal-energy sequence
Choose a supplied-data or practical route, select the student pages and keep later checks and complete keys with the teacher.
Learning target: Choose a six-kit supplied-data or optional practical route and preserve follow-up tasks for independent use.
Use written, oral or labeled representations when they show the intended reasoning. This resource addresses selected standards ideas; supplied-data analysis does not establish actual construction or testing.
For teachers planning the thermal-energy sequence. Each core kit includes a short prerequisite lesson; use it when students need help with the starting skills. Check which tasks students have already seen before choosing a follow-up.
Materials: Paper and pencil; optional calculator, pointing, oral response or labeled representation.
Data values are created for teaching. Use the teacher guide to plan the lesson timing.
