Good morning, scientists! Today we are about to embark on an exciting adventure into the world of energy transfer. But before we dive in, let’s kick off our lesson with a little mystery puzzle!
Imagine you are wizards in a world where everything is connected by invisible energy. To start, each of you will receive a small piece of paper that has a unique energy source written on it. Here are some examples:
Once you have your energy source, your task is to find a partner who has a different energy source and create a short story about how your two energy sources can transfer energy to one another.
For example, if you have "food" and your partner has "electricity," you might create a story about how the energy from the food gives energy to a person, who then uses that energy to do work, ultimately creating electricity by biking on a generator!
After a few minutes of brainstorming with your partner, we’ll come together as a class to share our creative stories. This activity will not only warm up our brain cells but also set the stage for understanding how energy is transferred from one source to another, similar to how our stories connect different ideas!
Let’s get creative and uncover the mysteries of energy transfer together! Remember, every time energy is used or moved, it tells a story. Are you ready to become the storytellers of energy? Let’s begin!
