Age 9-11 - Energy Unit - Now With a Bicycle!
by Keith A. Howe

The Energy unit for the Age 9-11 level can be fascinating for students. Often for the first time, they are introduced to the following:
- experiments with light (which need flashlights),
- activities involving color (which require four different colors of cellophane and three colors of food coloring),
- endothermic and exothermic reactions (which involve citric acid, steel wool, and a thermometer), and
- a host of other experiments (let's see... sewing needle, cork, scales, graduated cylinder, dowel rod, clear cups, clay, tea candle, and more).
And although one activity does in fact require a bicycle, we were told it wouldn't fit in the box. You supply the bicycle, and we'll provide just about everything else.
