STEM-Probes N' More - home

<h1>Welcome to the STEM Probes N' More wiki.</h1>
 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 
<ol><li>Click on a numbered &quot;Student&quot; link from the navigation bar on the left. (The red links on this bar are to student pages that do not exist yet.)</li><li>Click on the drop-down menu on the page and choose the &quot;STEM Motion Challenge&quot; template to start the new page.</li><li>Type your name at the top.</li><li>Follow directions on the page to work through the challenge.</li><li>Save your page when finished.</li></ol>

Potential Energy 
Kinetic Energy 
Gravity 
</td>
 <td>The Key Question in this activity will be, &quot; Does greater potential energy convert into greater kinetic energy?, &quot; 
</td>
 <td>Take what we have learned about kinetic and potential energy to the next level in a design challenge.
