Energy Conservation - Sloths

Creature Teacher: The Sloth
Science Category: Physics

Students explore how energy transfers between potential and kinetic forms by observing a swinging pendulum. Inspired by the sloth’s energy‑conserving lifestyle, this investigation shows how motion continues when energy is conserved rather than constantly added.

All Creature Curriculum resources are educator-designed, classroom-tested, and built to support joyful, meaningful science learning.
Each lesson is just one of dozens of science investigations available within a growing, interconnected lesson library.

Field-guided. Educator made.
