Focus:
This unit engages students with the idea that whenever there is a change, there is at least one form of energy causing that change. Students investigate evidence of energy all around them—when they flip on a light switch, feel a car start to move, or hear a phone ring.
The relationship between energy and change becomes clearer when students understand that
- energy is observed in different forms, such as sound, light, thermal energy (heat), and electrical energy;
- all of these forms of energy can cause changes, such as when a high-pitched sound breaks glass or when heat melts butter;
- one form of energy can transform (convert) into another; and
- all change, in fact, is evidence of a transfer of energy or a transformation.
Students also learn that engineers use their knowledge of energy as they develop solutions to problems and build things that are useful to people. As a series of culminating activities, students explore the principles and practices of engineering design, such as scientifically defining a problem to be solved and evaluating and optimizing possible solutions.

Meet Mrs. Telarico
Welcome to 4th Grade Room 219! My name is Joni Telarico and I will be your student's teacher for the 2025 -2026 school year! This is my second year teaching fourth grade and my twentieth year teaching. This is my tenth year of teaching at Aspen View Academy.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my family has lived here in Castle Rock for the past ten years. I have been married to my husband Mike for 31 years and I have two sons. Matt is 23 and works in Pittsburgh as an engineer, and Cameron is 21 and a senior in college in Utah.
We love living in Colorado and enjoy being outside. Hiking, biking, exercising, and spending time with my family are some of my favorite activities to do! I am looking forward to a great year working with you and your student!!!
