In this investigation, students figure out how energy transfers between two objects when they collide.
The Considerable Collisions kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for six groups of students.
Materials:
- Track Towers
- Carts
- Bent Track Connectors
- Straight Track Connectors
- Race Tracks
- Washers
- Stopwatches
- Number Stickers
- Cloth Meter Sticks
