8.B.2. Identify and explain that heat energy is a product of the conversion of one form of energy to
another.
Chemical energy in the fuel is
converted to kinetic energy of
expanding gas through combustion.
The energy is moved into the transmission.
The fast moving molecules heat up the engine.
AS the energy types change the molecules move faster causing them to heat up.
Heat Transformations
Earth Science
8.E.3. Identify and describe the atmospheric and hydrospheric conditions related to weather
systems.
With bad weather it's harder to control the car making it harder to predict its actions and making
people more prone to accidents.
Rain and snow makes roads slippery and the windshield hard to see.
Weather is based
off of the
atmosphere and its
condition i.e. If the
atmosphere is cold
there won't be any
rain and if the
atmosphere is warm
it will rain.
Role of Water:
Astronomy
8.D.2. Identify and explain celestial phenomena using the regular and predictable motion of objects
in the solar system
Now and days cars have predictable motion due to strict guidelines and rules.
This makes it easy for people to map out
highways/roads.
Everything in the solar systems has a certain motion. By studying this motion scientist can predict calendars, eclipses, ect.
Regular and Predictable Motion
Biology
8.D.1. Recognize and describe that evolutionary change in species over
time occurs as a result of genetic variation in organisms and
environmental changes.
Over time cars and gasoline have changed to make them more efficient and better for the modern
world.
As our world continues
to evolve so will cars.
over time species change or evolve to adapt to the always changing climate and terrain.
Change Over Time
Chemistry
8.D.2. Cite evidence of give examples of chemical properties of substances.
Scientist developed a fuel that works well in cars.
They did this by looking at the
chemical properties.
Every chemical has a different properties. Scientist study these properties to discover the chemical.
Chemical Properties
Physics
8.A.1. Develop an explanation of motion using the
relationships among time, distance, velocity and
acceleration.
Through the years scientists have developed this explanation to help the
progression of cars and make them more efficient.
They Compare the relationship between time, distance, velocity,
and acceleration to better this explantion.
When finding one of these things you use
at least two of the other. If you graph all
four you have graphed motion.
Motion
Environmental Issues
8.B.1 Recognize and explain how human activities can accelerate or magnify many naturally
occurring changes.
The development of fuels over time has led to the
depletion of the ozone layer over time.
This has led to global warming and
mass heating of the Earth.
Some human activities produce pollution. Can can accelerate natural changes.
