Tina,
Thanks you for sharing the idea of having different stations for exploring various energy transformations.
Euvelyn, as you develop ideas for your curriculum, you may wish to search the resources in the Learning Center to see if there is something that excites you. Using the search words 'energy transformation' returned 27 resources. Not all of them are free resources but many are available to all users.
