Conservation of Energy 1 Energy Skate Park introduction (Inquiry Based) |
Description
|
This is an inquiry based activity as an introduction to Kinetic and Gravitational Potential energy. Learning Goals: Students will be able to 1) explain the Conservation of Mechanical Energy concept using kinetic and gravitational potential energy 2) design a skate park using the concept of Mechanical energy
There are some clicker questions included and the tracks that I used for them.
There is the first in a series of three Skate Park activities. The other two have more quantitative learning goals. |
