| STANDARD C3: ENERGY TRANSFER AND CONSERVATION Students apply the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics to explain and predict most chemical phenomena. |
|
| P3.p1 Conservation of Energy - When energy is transferred from one system to another, the quantity of energy before transfer equals the quantity of energy after thansfer. | |
| P3.p2 Energy Transfer - Nuclear reactions take place in the sun. In plants, light from the sun is transferred to oxygen and carbon compounds, which, in combination, have chemical potential energy. |
Crave the Wave - In this event students will demonstrate knowledge and process skills needed to solve problems and answer questions regarding all types and areas of waves and wave motion. Food Science - Students will answer questions and perform developmentally appropriated experiments pertaining to food chemistry. Robo-cross - The object of this event is to design and build a robot capable of performing certain tasks on a prescribed playing field. |
