Energy Transfer: Ramps
Students will learn about the difference between potential and kinetic energy by building a ramp. Three objects will be tested down the ramp to see which one can go the farthest. Data will be collected, plotted on a line plot, and analyzed. Students will reflect on their designs and define the science terms associated with this lesson.
