A form of active learning, that starts by posing questions, putting the control over the learning to the student and allowing them to be actively and practically involved in the learning. Literacies of science: the particular language practices, processes and products that students learn about and use to represent and communicate their understanding of science concepts and processes". The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, instead it can be transferred from one object to another, or transformed from one type into another. A force is defined as a push or a pull that affects an objects motion or shape, contact forces must touch an object to affect it, non contact forces affect an object without needing to touch it directly. *forces are paired and act in opposing directions. Friction is a force that occurs when any objects move against each other.
