What is Energy

Notes: THIS LESSON REQUIRES RULERS or TAPE MEASURES and SPRING METERS. It also requires apples or small objects, plastic cups and hole punchers.

This lesson explores the question: “What makes ALL the various types of energy, energy?” It uses the ideas of length and force to explain.

(The NGSS mandates that forces (pushes and pulls) be taught prior to this class.) This lesson will serve either as a review or an introduction to forces.
