DiscoveryMath

This resource helps students explore kinetic energy and energy transfer through simple hands-on marble experiments. Students investigate how speed, mass, and collisions affect the way energy moves from one object to another. Using marbles, they observe what happens when a marble rolls faster, when large and small marbles collide, and when energy travels through a line of marbles in a chain reaction. The resource combines science investigation, data recording, summary questions, and a unit tes
