✏️ Part 2: Short Answers

6. In one sentence, write an "I can..." objective for this worksheet.

9. Draw a simple rock cycle or water cycle. Label at least three stages and show where energy acts (e.g., Sun, heat, pressure).

10. After your drawing, write two short success criteria that show you met the learning goal (use "I can..." statements):

Differentiation strategies:

- If you need support, use sentence starters: "I can explain..." or "Energy causes...".

- Use drawings or labels instead of long writing if helpful.

- For extension, add arrows showing energy flow and describe one human action that affects the cycle.
