Open Ended
In one minute, name as many forms of energy as you can?
3
Water
Water has several forms. It forms ice and water vapor. In a similar way, energy has different forms, such as energy due to motion or energy due to object interaction.
4
Water Demonstration
Water can go from Ice - Liquid - Steam, nonetheless, it is still water.
5
Throwing a ball
How does the energy transfer from a ball at rest to a ball that is thrown?
6
Catching a Ball
How does the kinetic energy transfer from a ball that is moving to coming to a stop after being caught.
7
