Speed and Energy
Students will explore the effect of wind speed on the energy produced.
Summary
Strand/Standard 4.2.1 Construct an explanation to describe the cause and effect relationship between the speed of an object and the energy of that object. Emphasize using qualitative descriptions of the relationship between speed and energy like fast, slow, strong, or weak. An example could include a ball that is kicked hard has more energy and travels a greater distance than a ball that is kicked softly. (PS3.A) |
