Robot Essentials: Crazy Carnival Games

Description

This class will develop the student’s 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.

Objectives

• Identify and describe the relationship between speed and energy

• Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions

• Predict outcomes of the changes in energy that occur when objects collide

• Observe and describe the relationship between energy and force
