Have you ever tried using 'poppers' for students to investigate energy and energy transformations? Students use oversized poppers (available on amazon for cheap) and design an experiment. I have kids do this and then they explore potential energy, kinetic, elastic, etc. and they are designing the experiment. Kids have lots of fun with this experiment!

Have you tried the phet simulations? They add more and more all the time. There are also plenty of teacher resources for each simulation. Many take the simulation from different angles. Very helpful. I really like the circuit one.
