Energy Foldable Directions:
1) Cut around the outside of both "flowers". 2) On the flower labeled "Forms of Energy", cut in between the 6 outer hexagons, forming 6 "petals". 3) Put glue in the center of the unlabeled flower, line up the flowers, and glue them together at the center only with the Forms of Energy flower on top. 4) On the Forms of Energy flower, label the top three hexagons with the forms of potential energy: Chemical, Nuclear, and Gravitational 5) Label the bottom three hexagons with the forms of kinetic energy: Thermal (heat), Electromagnetic, Mechanical 6) On the bottom flower, define / describe the form of energy that matches the petal on top. 7) On the back side of the top petals, draw a picture that represents that form of energy. |
