In this investigation, students figure out how changing the speed of an object changes the energy of that object.
The Billiards Break Speed kit includes all the materials students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for six groups of students.
Materials:
- Track Towers
- Small Marbles
- Large Marbles
- Felt or Foam Square
