Standard- 6-8 SYSC The

output of one system can become the input of another system.

6-8 INQA Scientific inquiry involves asking and answering questions and comparing the answer with what scientists already know.

Key vocabulary: radiant energy, radiometer, scientific method

I can: Design a lab to learn about the effects of radiant energy.
