10. Springy Tag
The concept that potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy is reinforced in this fun and high-energy game. Introduction This game is an adaptation of "Dead Ant" as explained on www.ultimatecampresource.com ...
11. Toy Cars
Students will play with cars to discover how potential and kinetic energy make them move. Introduction Toy cars use a variety of mechanisms to make them go, but they all store up potential energy. ...
12. Elastic Powered Car
Students will make a car powered by an elastic engine. Introduction Rather than converting chemical energy to kinetic energy like your family car, this car (adapted from http://pbskids.org/designsquad/projects/rubber_band_car.html) ...
13. Come-Back Can
... powered motor. The "secret" to the Come-Back Can is in the weight that hangs from the rubber band. As long as the weight hangs down as the tin rolls in one direction (and doesn't flip) the kinetic energy ...
14. Cotton Ball Catapult
Students apply their knowledge of force, mass, and acceleration through a building challenge. Introduction The transfer of energy from potential energy to kinetic energy is easy to understand (and ...
15. Popcan Porsche
Build a compound machine out of a popcan that converts potential energy to kinetic energy. As the can rolls, the potential energy that is stored in the wound rubber band is transformed into motion ...
