Mass, Speed, and Kinetic Energy

In this unit, students analyze the science phenomena of connections between energy, forces, and motion. In this lesson, students use data to construct an explanation about phenomena that occur because of the relationships between an object’s kinetic energy, its mass, and its speed. This page provides an overview of this lesson.

Mass and Energy Transfer

In this unit, students investigate the relationship between gravity, motion, and energy. Students begin by questioning how the amount of potential energy stored in an energy system changes when objects are different heights above the ground.
