Energy Transfer

Students will come up with and perform an investigation for the phenomenon that dropping a rock into a puddle makes a different reaction than throwing it. Students will drop a ball into a cup or

In this lesson plan, students explore the ideas of energy transfer between two objects. Students are tasked with making a maze for a marble to run through, using a 3d pen and other materials. Students

In this lesson students use a Pocketlab Voyager to collect data on a toy car as it goes down a track. Analysing the data, students calculate gravitational potential energy and Kinetic energy of the

Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by launching rockets of varying weights and observing the resulting flight distances. Gather numerical data on the flight distances of the rockets and

Students will: Construct a pool noodle rocket flinger using provided materials, demonstrating an understanding of the design principles involved. Explore the concepts of force and energy transfer by

For hundreds of years, people have harnessed moving air (wind) to do work. The earliest forms of wind-powered machines were sailboats. Wind pushing against the sails of a boat provided the energy to

Students will construct an explanation of how energy can be transferred from one energy store to another, integrating STEM principles through hands-on activities and real-world applications.

In this lesson students will research different roller coasters then work in groups design and build a roller coaster using pipe insulation and tape. Students will then analyze their roller coaster

Students learn how energy transfer and electrical circuits energy are similar and different.
