This Energy Unit was created by myself and a colleague of mine to meet the NGSS standards 4-PS3- 1,2,3 and 4. The students began by building tissue paper hot air balloons to fly on a field trip to Rancho San Rafael Park. Then we had the students analyze various sources relating back to our essential question. Each source was on a different piece of paper and students worked in pairs or small groups to answer the questions.
