Forms of Energy [Unguided]

A simulation where learners explore different forms of energy—such as kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical—by interacting with real-world scenarios and observing how energy transforms and transfers between forms.

Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify instances of kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical energy within various interactive simulation scenarios.
Students will be able to describe the process of energy transformation (e.g., potential to kinetic, chemical to thermal) based on observable changes in the simulation.
Students will be able to analyze simulated interactions to differentiate between energy transfer and energy transformation events.
