Energy Transformation Practice: Reviews Types of Energy and Energy Transfers!
I've done this activity from 7th through 12th grades and it's always entertaining to see what they come up with. Since they're not actually building it, they can really think out of the box (ex- nuclear energy and thermal energy become popular).

You may also wish to show them Rube Goldberg examples. Or, modify a bit and simply u
