Week 16 - Energy (Part 5)
Introduction to Energy
Learning Target: I can explore relationships and patterns in speed velocity and acceleration of objects.
Warm-Up (12/4/20)
1) What three ingredients do I need to make velocity soup?
2) If I am spinning around in place like a top, I am accelerating because I am constantly changing my _______________.
3) If Santa Claus is in a hurry to get back to the north pole after delivering all the presents he will _____________________ his sleigh until it reaches top speed.
Word Wall

Speed - The distance traveled per unit of time
Velocity - speed plus direction
Work - using a force to move an object
Motion - a change in position
Energy - the ability to do work.
Law of conservation of energy - states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form of energy to another.
Acceleration - rate of change of speed or a change in direction
