Experiment Instructions 1. Create THREE different energy system setups to experiment with. Each setup must contain an energy source, an energy converter, and an energy user. a. Each setup must have a different energy source and a different energy user b. You must use different energy converters for two of the setups. Note that there are only two types of energy converters.) c. Before running each setup, write down a hypothesis, based on your current understanding after reading the background information for the activity, that predicts the types of energy conversions that will take place, and the transfer (flow) of energy in the system. 2. Run each of the setups by providing energy to the system from the source. Experiment with varying the rate of energy provided by the source. 3. For each system setup, tell a story of what is happening in the simulation by writing down, in very specific detail, your observations of the types of energy, transfer (flow) of energy, and conversions of energy taking place in the system as it runs. HINT: While running the simulation, select Energy Symbols to visualize the types of energy, how it is being transferred within the system, and how it is being converted from one form to another. Address the following in recording your observations: a. What forms of energy are contained in the energy source and the energy user? b. What specific energy conversions are taking place within energy source and energy user? c. What specific energy conversions are taking place within the converter as energy is transferred from the source to the user? d. How do changes or adjustments made to the energy source affect the types, conversions, or transfer of energy within the system
