ImagineIT - Images and Video
Energy can be observed in all areas of science. Forces and motion can only occur with some form of energy. Energy has an impact on all the areas of science. This i-video was created to explain the mission that students will investigate during the year. -

Energy and Change
Identify desired results
The goal of my ImagineIt project is to enable my students to develop an understanding that there is a cycle of interconnectedness that encourages sustainable life however, Earth’s materials are limited natural resources affected by human activity and change. Change is going to occur and has consequences that affect life functions. To accomplish my goal, students will study in science the topic of energy, specifically renewable energy. -
Identify - Big Idea - CHANGE
Introduce the Big Idea - CHANGE
Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos, stated ...
“If we lived on a planet where nothing ever changed, there would be little to do. There would be nothing to figure out. There would be no impetus for science."
Energy is always the same but energy can be transformed when things change or are made to happen. Energy continuously converts between many different forms. During these conversions, energy is never created or destroyed but transformed. -
Establish the GOALS
This is the stage where the project has been introduced to the students and now we examine the goals. What are the learning outcomes I want students to take away from this venture of renewable energy. -
Establish Teams
Examine and establish the division of labor and the types of renewable energy to investigate (who will do what). -
Investigate - Marketing and PowerPoints Created
1.) Each organization investigates a specific renewable energy.
2.) CEO selected by teams.
3.) Marketing and PowerPoint created. -
Job Fair
Each company will finalize their team of people.
Organization charts created. -
