Introduction
We are all going to go to an amusement park here pretty soon! While we are there, we are going to be riding rollercoasters! You are going to be learning about kinetic energy in class the week before we go. After we have become experts in kinetic energy, you will be creating your own rollercoaster!
As you are working through this WebQuest, use this graphic organizer to help you answer these questions! 
Task
With your partner, you are going to learn more about kinetic energy! While you and your partner read, you will use the graphic organizer to get your thoughts together. Take turns reading and make sure you are paying attention to what your partner is saying. After you are finished, you will go to battle to answer some questions to test your knowledge!
Process
You and your partner will use this Nearpod to help you answer your graphic organizer! You may need a code, the code is: YXIGE
Make sure you are taking turns on each slide reading!
After you have finished this graphic organizer, click this link to participate in a rollercoaster simulator to observe kinetic energy.
Evaluation
Now that you and your partner have become experts of kinetic energy, it is now time to test your knowledge on what you have learned! Click this link that will take you to a Google Form. There are 10 questions to see what you know! Do your best!
Now that you have completed that, I am going to give you a bag with manipulatives in it. You are going to be creating your own rollercoasters with the supplies I have given you. You are going to have the rest of the time in class, and I will give you some time tomorrow. After that, we will be observing everyone's rollercoasters, and observing their kinetic energy.
Conclusion
Congrats! I am so proud of you and how hard you have worked! Now it is time to have some fun making rollercoasters! Be creative and smart with your construction skills.

Performance Expectation: Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.
Clarification Statement: Relating the speed of an object to the energy of the object does not require calculation of the object’s speed.
Disciplinary Core Ideas: DEFINITIONS OF ENERGY
The faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses. (UE.PS3A.a)
