My favorite part of the Energy Unit was when we took the test with our partners and looked at the objects. I liked this because we got to interact with different things instead of just writing on a piece of paper. 3. Energy is found everywhere. Such as a car, a pancake, you, etc. 4. Something that has a part in this world. Such as something that does something to us or in the world. 5. I think mine is cool because it is different from others even though it might do the same thing. What I do like better from others is they had a ton more steps. What I can take is what other things besides regular household items. |
