Energy Transfer Kit

Bar Code: 1259

Description: This kit allows students to investigate the relationship between potential or stored energy and its release as kinetic energy (the energy of motion). An understanding of this relationship will guide students to an exploration of the principles behind temperature changes, energy conservation, and the workings of simple machines. Students will explore energy transfer using familiar materials and simple devices.
