I am learning how energy is transferred in collisions so that I can apply it to real life situations. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain how energy is transferred and changed in an automobile collision. I am learning how energy is conserved so that I can explain how energy is conserved in collisions. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain the difference between conserving energy and the law of conservation of energy. I am applying what I have learned about energy transfer and conservation of energy so that I can make further connections about how energy was transferred in the Toy Car Crashes activity. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain what is happening in a car crash using academic vocabulary.
