Learning Target: 

• I can identify how energy changes form in a system

HOWLs Target:

• I keep working until the task is complete.

Agenda

• Explain 3 energy transformations in the Rube Goldberg drawing.
• Rube Goldberg
• Develop a plan for a Rube Goldberg machine
• must have 5 energy transfers
• must have 4 different types of energy
• must have 1 form of "lost" energy
• must have descriptions of the transfers and energies that demonstrate general understanding of the types of energy
• must have a description of how the machine demonstrates the law of conservation of energy
• instead of Goldberg machine, use another system such as nuclear power plant, or pencil sharpener
• Sailing T-shirt design contest
