In the first module, Motion Energy Change in a Collision, students explore how motion energy can move and change in a collision. In the first focus question, students learn how motion energy can change into heat, light, and sound and move to another object. In the second focus question, students use evidence from collisions to construct a claim that faster objects have more motion energy. They read about how being fast can help plants and animals survive. In the third focus question, students look at ways that motion energy can change to heat. They carry out an investigation into how the surface affects how far an object slides. They learn how air can slow objects down and construct an explanation that motion energy causes air to heat up. They learn that when objects deform, motion energy changes to heat. In focus question four, they learn that a helmet can protect our brain by changing motion energy to heat. They design a helmet using an egg as a model for the head. In the science challenge, students apply what they have learned about motion energy to predict how far a moving washer will move a stationary washer in a game.
