Transformation of Energy Lab Report
Instructions: In Part One of the Transformation of Energy lab, you will research and experiment with a Rube Goldberg Machine simulation to show the transformation of energy from one object to another to complete a simple task.
In Part Two, you will design your own Rube Goldberg device. Record your observations and work in the lab report below. You will submit your completed lab report for both Part One and Part Two of the lab.

Part One: Rube Goldberg Simulation Research
Instructions: First, complete the Rube Goldberg Machine simulation located in the lesson by selecting the shelves, levers, five-pound weight, slingshot, and/or pail to activate or deactivate each item. Once you feel the design is complete, select "Go" to test the design. After you make the necessary adjustments in the simulation so that the Rube Goldberg device will function properly, you will answer the following question. Please write in complete sentences.
List three examples of where potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy in the Rube Goldberg Machine simulation. Fully explain the energy transformations using complete sentences. (Example: The ball has potential energy when it sits on the shelf that transforms to kinetic energy when it falls to the ground.)

Part Two: Your Rube Goldberg Device Design
Instructions: Choose one option (either Build It or Draw it) to design your own Rube Goldberg device. Then, complete each of the sections of the lab report below. Your Rube Goldberg device design must include at least three energy transformations to perform a simple task.
Option One: Build it
If you build your device, you will need to turn in a video clip or photograph of your device along with a written description on how each step works.
Option Two: Draw It
If you draw your device, you will need to turn in your device design along with a written description of how each step works. You may choose to draw it freehand and scan or photograph the drawing, or you may use a computer program to digitally create your device.
Objective(s):
The purpose of this lab is to use models to explore how energy transforms from one form to another to support the law of conservation of energy.
Hypothesis:
In this section, include the if/then statement for your lab. This statement reflects your predicted outcome for the experiment.
If I transfer potential and kinetic energy using a Rube Goldberg device, then I will be able to ________________. (Fill in the blank with the simple task your device will be able to do.)
Materials:
In this section, list the items and/or materials that are part of your Rube Goldberg device design.
Procedure:
In this section, include a summary of how your Rube Goldberg device design works from start to finish to complete a task. Your Rube Goldberg device design must include at least three energy transformations. Be sure to include the image, drawing, or video of the Rube Goldberg device that you created. You can include that here or submit a separate file.
Data:
Record your data in the chart below to include three examples of energy transformations in your Rube Goldberg device design.
Example Item Types of energy that were transformed How the energy was transformed?
Example Ball Potential energy transformed to sound energy. The ball fell off the shelf and hit the floor causing sound.

Conclusion:
Complete the conclusion questions below. Please write in complete sentences.
Describe how the Rube Goldberg device design that you created follows the law of conservation of energy. Be sure to include both parts of the law of conservation of energy in your description.
Give a real-world example of an energy transformation that uses two of the following forms of energy: chemical, mechanical, nuclear, gravitational, radiant, electrical, thermal (heat), and/or sound.
