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.
