The Grade Fives have just started to develop their third unit of inquiry. This time, we will be discovering and studying the amazing world of energy. The following are some of the most important aspects to examine throughout the development of this unit:

Subject Focus:
Science and Technology

Central Idea:
Energy exists in different forms and is used in different ways.

Inquiries into:
  • the different forms of energy and their uses
  • the impact of energy use on the environment and society
  • our role as consumers and conservers of energy

Let's work:

The symbols below are Energy Source Symbols. Can you identify them? Write them down in your UOI book:


Let's play:

 
Sudoku is a logic-based placement puzzle consisting of a 9x9 grid of cells. Typically using numbers, this puzzle uses energy source symbols.

To solve the puzzle, each 3x3 region of the grid must contain only one source symbol. Each row and each column of the puzzle must contain only one energy source symbol. There is only one solution. Good luck!

Give it a try, print it out and bring to class!
