Engineering and Energy…

on November 1, 2018

Greetings!

Last week students worked in groups of four to create a model that showed potential and kinetic energy and how energy is transferred. Students used hot wheel tracks, dominoes, glues sticks, marbles, plastic cars and whatever else they could find in our classroom that would be appropriate. After spending about 40 minutes developing the model students had to explain to me and their classmates how their model showed potential, kinetic and the transfer of energy.

The models were all different and all successful!
