Energy
What energy is, how it changes shape and why a marble needs a high start. Play first, then read how it works.
Game
Lessons
Short reads with pictures. Many have a live experiment built in.
What is energy?
Energy is what makes things happen. Meet its forms, and see how it changes from one to another.
How height turns into speed
Energy never disappears. It just changes form. Watch a marble swap stored height for speed.
Why loops need a high start
Why a roller coaster has to climb so high before it loops the loop, and the 2.7 rule that predicts it.
