Catapult: Kinetic and Potential Energy
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data analysis, students will gain a deeper understanding of energy transfer and mechanical work.

In this hands-on lesson, students will have a teacher read aloud: "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and discuss the importance of perseverance and imagination while creating, building, and testing. They will
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last
In this activity, students read about discovering energy and the impact encountered by ships at sea. Students will have the opportunity to read about how lighthouses can solve those problems and
