= Welcome to the STEM Probes N' More wiki. = This wiki was designed to help you build background knowledge through simulations, collect data with Vernier sensors, review online challenge resources, and publish findings through on a wiki.

Directions
 * 1) Click on a numbered "Student" link from the navigation bar on the left. (The red links on this bar are to student pages that do not exist yet.)
 * 2) Click on the drop-down menu on the page and choose the "STEM Motion Challenge" template to start the new page.
 * 3) Type your name at the top.
 * 4) Follow directions on the page to work through the challenge.
 * 5) Save your page when finished.

Driving with Energy: Activity 25 ||= Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Gravity || The Key Question in this activity will be, " Does greater potential energy convert into greater kinetic energy?, " || Take what we have learned about kinetic and potential energy to the next level in a design challenge. ||  ||
