Activity 1
LITTLE SHOP OF TOYS
Objectives:
At the end of the activity, you should be able to:
o energy forms present in the operation of simple toys, and
o describe the energy transformations in the toys.
Materials Needed:
yoyo
friction toy car
deflated balloon
2 mystery objects
Activity Sheet / science notebook
Procedure:
1. Operate each toy to move and observe closely what causes it to start and
stop moving.
2. For each toy, identify all forms of energy involved in the process.
3. Trace the energy transformations by sketching and labeling the toy while in
motion.
4. From inside the room, choose two objects/toys of interest to you. Do steps 1 to
3.
5. For each toy or object, answer the following questions:
Questions:
Q1. What does the toy or object do?
Q2. What energy changes take place as this toy or object operates?
Q3. What form does the stored energy start out in?
Q4. What form does the stored energy turn into?
Q5. What form is the energy output in when it stops?
Q6. What made each object to move a certain displacement and what made
each object to come to a stop?
Conclusion:
