Popcorn Launchers
This week in Science we have been exploring gravity potential energy (stored energy waiting to be released) as well as the Law of Conservation of Energy (the idea that energy is never lost, it just changes form). The students worked very hard constructing popcorn launchers to demonstrate gravity potential energy.
