Exploration of Energy
This lesson takes two days or class periods since it is an exploration of energy in the lives of the students. Day 1 involves 8 different scenarios. Day 2 is an exploration of how efficient two lightbulbs are with energy usage. Students will analyze and determine, based on their data, which one is more efficient. Students will also have time to finish Day 1 exploration.

I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it
In this lesson students will evaluate if mass affects the velocity of an object when dropped from a certain height.
Students will first build and collect data on how fast their solar car is. Then students can change items to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to increase the overall speed of the solar car.
