Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Transfer of Motion Energy. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Motion is the change in position of an object.
Moving objects contain energy.
The energy of motion is a kind of mechanical energy.
Energy can be moved from place to place by moving objects.
Energy can be moved from place to place by sound.
Sound transmits energy through vibrations in materials.
Energy can be moved from place to place by light.
Light transmits energy through electromagnetic waves.
When objects collide, energy is transferred from one object to the other, changing their motion.
During a collision between objects, some energy is transferred to the surrounding air in the form of heat and sound.
Specific sounds may cause objects to move.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transported and transferred between objects.
Heat transmits thermal energy from one place to another.
Sources of thermal energy include sunlight, friction, and fire.
Speed is the rate at which an object changes its position.
Discussion Questions
