Heat, Energy, and Bicycling in New York CityBy: ReadWorks.org

Benchmark Focus• SC.5.P.10.2: Investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or

create change.• SC.5.P.10.4 Investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into

heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion.• SC.4.P.10.2 Investigate and describe that energy has the ability to cause motion

or create change. • SC.4.P.10.4 Describe how moving water and air are sources of energy and can be

used to move things.

Common Core Integration• LACC.K12.L.3.4 : Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-

meaning words and phrases by using context clues, analyzing meaningful word parts, and consulting general and specialized reference materials, as appropriate.

• LACC.5.W.3.9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

• LACC.5.SL.1.1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

3 While the city installed the bikes in part because of concerns about traffic, it was also interested in another question: how we use and spend energy. Any time an object is in motion, it is both producing energy and, in many cases, expending energy. For example, a car does not just move because we want it to move. It is powered by a special kind of engine, called an internal combustion engine that burns fuel. When this fuel is burned, it causes a cylinder to spin in circles. This cylinder is connected to the wheels of the car. As the cylinder spins, so do the wheels. So, one type of energy — fuel — is transformed into another type of energy — forward motion. Energy contained in the motion of an object is called “motion energy.”
