This online resource helps teach the concepts of motion and energy transformations.

The resource is a Science ASSIST Connected Learning Experience (CLE) designed specifically to teach the concepts of motion and energy transformations to Year 10 students.

Description:

In this investigation, motion and energy transformations are investigated in the context of modelling a bungee jump by an egg. There is an emphasis on finding and analysing patterns in data in order to solve a real-world problem.

Learning intentions

Students will be able to:

• understand that one or more different forms (or types) of energy can be present at the same time
• explain that one form of energy can be transformed into other forms and vice versa
• identify that the total amount of energy remains constant (total energy is conserved)
• design a fair test investigation
• make accurate measurements
• construct appropriate representations that allow them to interpret and analyse the data
• identify patterns and relationships in data
• draw conclusions based on evidence.
