Energy: An Internet-Linked Unit Study
Look Inside! See sample pages at the bottom of this page.
Discover how central God's creation of energy is to how we live today. Energy is all around us. We derive energy from food, we use energy to heat our homes, and we find energy in the power of moving water. Energy provides the opportunity to accomplish something, such as driving a car, moving a box, or running hot water from a showerhead. In most energy-related resources, the important aspect of God's creation of energy is left out. Not only did God create living beings, He also created for us the ability to further our civilization—industry, travel, food production, and living standards.
In this unit, we will discover how central God's creation of energy is to how we live today. Energy is one of the most basic ideas of science. All the observed occurrences in the universe can be explained in terms of energy and matter. Energy occurs in many different forms, and it is not always easy to tell how these forms are related to one another and what they have in common. One of the best-known definitions of energy is the classical definition used in physics: Energy is the ability to do work. Physicists define work in a way that does not always agree with the average person's idea of work.
This physical science unit is a thematic and inquiry based study, certain process skills are woven throughout. These include making hypothesis, observing, drawing, creating and testing models, experimenting, recording and graphing data, making inferences, and forming conclusions. Bible, social studies, language arts, and fine arts are integrated they apply.
