Energy Cube Rules

pdf of the Energy Cubes Rules

• Each cube is a unit of energy.
• Regions on a white board or paper represent objects involved in the scenario.

• Each cube indicates its form of energy with a symbol (such as “M” for motion energy) on the side facing up.

• To represent energy transformation, cubes flip so that a different symbol (such as “Elas” for elastic energy) faces up.

• The number of cubes in a region corresponds to the quantity of energy in a physical object.
• The number of cubes showing a particular symbol on the upward side corresponds to the quantity of a particular form.
• To show energy transfer, cubes move from one region to another.
