I am learning how the height of a ramp affects the speed of a ball so that I can draw a conclusion about how height affects energy. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can explain how changing the height affects the energy of the object. I am learning about how energy is related to movement so that I can draw more conclusions about The Moving Ball (previous lesson). Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can connect what I have learned to other situations such as an airplane in the sky. I am learning what the energy is at different points in a roller coaster so that I can make predictions about speed related to the energy. Success Criteria: I’ll know I have learned it when I can make connections between speed and energy in real life connections.
