Is energy conserved?
UNDERSTANDINGS/APPLICATIONS/SKILLS/NATURE OF SCIENCE:
4.1.U1: Energy comes in many different forms.
4.1.U2: Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
4.1.S1: Energy can be both stored and transformed.
4.1.S2: Calculate total mechanical energy, gravitational potential energy, and kinetic energy.
4.1.A1 Apply the Law of Conservation of Energy to scenarios
