Crazy Carnival Games

This unit will develop your students' understanding of energy, energy transfer, and collision. They'll explore ways of using observation skills as they anticipate the outcomes of changes in energy during a collision, describe the relationship between energy and speed, and predict how energy moves from place to place. They'll also broaden their understanding of energy conversion (potential and kinetic) by investigating a solution that converts energy from one form to another, testing the solution to improve and refine its function.

Your students will improve their communication skills as they engage in a range of collaborative discussions about energy, energy transfer, and collision.
