About this game
This activity for grade 4 students explores energy changes during collisions. Students categorize scenarios like 'bumper cars colliding' or 'marbles hitting each other' into increased energy, decreased energy, or sound/heat energy produced. Aligned with NGSS standard 4-PS3-3, it promotes prediction and critical thinking about energy outcomes in real-world situations.
