POPPERS (SMALL)
National Standard: B2
“... Students should develop an understanding of position and motion of objects ... (both) can be changed by pushing or pulling ...” 1
Suggested Use
Change potential energy into kinetic energy! Turn the popper inside out and set it on a hard surface. Wait a few moments and observe what happens. Challenge students to find examples of potential energy (batteries, wound springs, etc.) and kinetic energy (anything that is moving).
