Energy Transformation

This introductory energy module will encourage students to think about the energy that things need to move. Students will explore how energy makes things go, from powering vehicles to moving one’s body. Students will experiment with rubber bands to discover the relationship between how much energy is stored in a material and how much is released. Students also learn how energy can be transformed.
Students also explore how energy can be stored as height. In the activity, students release marbles down the ramp track to understand height energy and energy transfer.
