Today in integrated science, students reviewed some of the math associated with energy, and then we began investigating qualitative transfers of energy. Students viewed the Energy Skate Park Simulation and talked through  the energy transformation occurring. Students finished the day by working on  Qualitative Energy Pie Charts 1a. They will be presenting them tomorrow!
