What educators are saying

I love PHET simulations! Thank you for making this amazing resource to go along with the energy skate park simulation!
This was great for my kids to really hone in on the differences between potential and kinetic energy. I had a really old worksheet that just wasn't cutting it anymore so this will be a staple for years to come! Thanks!

Description

Description:

Do you need a quick and easy way to show your students how potential and kinetic energy are related? This print and go activity is a great way for students to explore potential energy and kinetic energy. Students will observe potential energy, kinetic energy, how potential and kinetic energy are related, and the law of conservation of energy with this online PHET simulation. Then, they will answer questions on this worksheet to deepen their understanding of potential and kinetic energy. This activity is aligned to MS-PS3-5 and allows students to draw their own conclusions about how potential and kinetic energy are related.

This would also make great sub plans.

*MUST HAVE POWERPOINT TO EDIT THIS RESOURCE!

What's Included:

  • Link to PHET Simulation
  • Teacher directions
  • Student handout (editable PowerPoint file & a PDF file)
  • Answer Key for student handout
  • Editable PowerPoint slides to guide the lesson
  • Editable Google slides to guide the lesson

How I Like to Use This Product:

This is an exploratory lesson on potential energy, kinetic energy, and the law of conservation of energy. I enjoy not giving my students any prior knowledge so they can use the PHET simulation to explore the concepts and draw their own conclusions based on their observations.

Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Examples of empirical evidence used in arguments could include an inventory or other representation of the energy before and after the transfer in the form of temperature changes or motion of object. Assessment does not include calculations of energy.
