5 - PS3.D - Energy Transfer - FINAL (WND 1/9/2014)

DCI: PS3.D Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday Life – The energy released from food was once energy from the sun that was captured by plants in the chemical process that forms plant matter (from air and water).
DCI: LS1.C Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms – Food provides the animals with the materials they need for body repair and growth and the energy they need to maintain body warmth and for motion.

PE: 5-PS3-1 Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and used to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.

[Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include diagrams, and flow charts.]

The ideas we see in this standard: 
-energy that comes from food originally came from the sun
-Plants capture the suns energy and, through a chemical process, forms plant matter (using air and water)
-Food provides animals with the materials they need for repair and growth
-Food provides animals the energy they need to maintain their bodies and to move

Possible Question Starters:
"Plants get the food they use for energy and growth by - "
correct answer - making it from sunlight.
incorrect answer - absorbing it from the soil. 

"The diagram shows a transfer of energy.  Which of the following correctly replaces the "?" in the diagram?"


correct answer - the sun
incorrect answer - the ocean, etc
