What happens to a material when energy is transferred to it? || ** Unit Enduring Understandings ** Changes take place because of the transfer of energy. Energy is transferred to matter through the action of forces. Different forces are responsible for the transfer of the different forms of energy. || // Students will … // · understand that gravity is the force that pulls objects together · demonstrate that all objects with mass have gravity · explain how mass and volume affect gravity ||
