E Earth and Space Systems

• E1 Relating Science and Technology to Our Changing World

  • E1.1 analyse long-term impacts of human uses of energy and natural resources, on society and the environment, including climate change, and suggest ways to mitigate these impacts

    • Natural energy resources: coal and wind (5-L.)
    • Evaluate natural energy sources (5-L.2)

  • E1.2 evaluate effects of various technologies on energy consumption, and describe ways in which individuals can use technology to reduce energy consumption

  • E1.3 analyse how First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities use their knowledges and ways of knowing to conserve energy and resources

• E2 Exploring and Understanding Concepts

  • E2.1 identify a variety of forms of energy, and describe how each form is used in everyday life

    • Energy transformation (5-E.1)
    • How are temperature and mass related to thermal energy? (5-F.4)

  • E2.2 demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy, including how energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another

  • E2.3 describe how energy is stored as potential energy and transformed in a given device or system

    • Energy transformation (5-E.1)
    • Explore energy transformations: bike ride (5-E.2)

  • E2.4 demonstrate an understanding that when energy is transformed from one form to another, some energy may dissipate into the environment in the form of heat, light, and/or sound energy

  • E2.5 identify renewable and non-renewable sources of energy

    • Natural energy resources: coal and wind (5-L.)

  • E2.6 explain how the use of energy derived from fossil fuels changes the composition of the atmosphere and how these changes contribute to climate change
