Grade

Name: Engage
Minutes: 10
Purpose: Hook students by presenting a compelling real-world phenomenon — a ball rolling down a ramp and knocking over objects — to surface prior ideas about motion and energy, and to generate the investigative questions that will drive the Explore phase.
Materials

Q1. Draw and label two diagrams of the ball on the ramp: one at the top before release and one at the bottom after rolling. For each diagram, describe in 1-2 sentences what kind of energy the ball has and what evidence from today's investigation supports your claim.
