*Define energy and energy transformation
*Know the 6 types of energy – nuclear, chemical, mechanical, electrical, radiant, and thermal – and be able to give examples of each.

*Given a situation be able to identify all the energy transformations that occurexample:in a water heater the chemical energy in the natural gas is transformed into thermal energy.

*Know what the Law of the Conservation of Energy says . 

*Know the definitions for kinetic energy and potential energy.

*Know how to increase potential energy.

*Know how to increase kinetic energy. 

*Be able to identify potential and kinetic energy in a situation ex:a book on a shelf has which type of energy? Potential energy

*In a roller coaster and a swing know where there is potential energy and where there is kinetic energy.

*In photosynthesis know:

-what is the main goal of photosynthesis

-what type of energy do you need to begin photosynthesis

-what is chlorophyll 

-what color is chlorophyll

-when does photosynthesis occur

-where does photosynthesis occur

-what is the chemical formula for glucose

-what is glucose used for in the plant
