Old-fashioned Matchbox cars assisted Helen B. Duffield Elementary School fourth grade students in Valerie Walter’s class in examining the transfer of energy during a recent science class. Ms. Walters explained that the students have been studying the transfer of energy, as part of the science curriculum, and how that energy transfer differs with a change of height and the amount of force. The students first allowed one Matchbox car to roll down a ramp and then measured the distance from point A to point B. When the students allowed a second Matchbox car to roll down the ramp and hit the first, the students measured the transfer of energy from one car to another by measuring the stationary car’s new distance. The students further examined how the height of the ramp resulted in a change of force, thus transferring a greater amount of energy between one car to another.
