Objectives:
- Define energy and how it is
used.
- Explain the difference
between kinetic and potential energy.
- Explain how energy is
converted from potential to kinetic, and vice versa through the use of force.
Standards:
Your team has been chosen to field test the first prototype rubber band spool racer. You will test and record data to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the current design. The rubber band spool racer must travel in a straight line for at least 2 feet (24 inches) within a 3-foot wide tract. Based on your results, you will propose modifications on ways to improve the function and design of the spool racer.
Materials and Directions:
Day 1: Introduce activity and gather data Whole Group: Engage Introduce the concepts of kinetic and potential energy (K.W.L.) Explain that they will build a device that converts potential energy to kinetic energy Model how to write a hypothesis using “If… then…” strategy Go over Lab Expectations and Procedures Small Group: Explore (3-4 students /group) Gather materials and assemble rubber band spool racer Conduct trials (5 per person) Record data in Excel Closure: Evaluate and Explain Have students share some of the results Discuss what worked well/ not well. Why?
Day 2: Complete and analyze data Whole Group: Engage Review the concepts of kinetic and potential energy Go over Lab Expectations and Procedures Small Group: Explore (3-4 students /group) Gather materials and reassemble rubber band spool racer Complete all trials (5 per person) Record data in Excel Analyze data (Evaluate) Review hypothesis and form a conclusion (Explain and Elaborate) Closure: Explain and Elaborate Have students share some of the results Discuss what worked well/ not well. Why?

- 1. What is the role of the rubber band? Why does it help make
the spool racer go?
- 2. Use the terms kinetic energy and potential energy to
describe the spool racer.
- a. Describe one type of energy transfer in this activity.
- 3. What affects the distance the spool racer travels?
- 4. What was the most difficult part of this project?
- 5. If you were to make any improvements to your spool racer,
what would they be? Why would you do that? What could you do to make the spool racer go faster?
