Where Did All The Energy Go?
by Katherine Otwell
Students get to investigate how energy transfers using different phenomena. They practice using a Colorado PhET simulation on the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Students will explore what does effect the transfer of energy and be able to use evidence to support an argument on how energy is transferred from one object to another.

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search

Students will build and use pom pom shooters to conduct an investigation into kinetic vs potential energy. Students will measure the distance their pom pom travels and make conclusions about the
