What educators are saying

These worksheet really helped my students understand all the different energies being used in a skate park.
My students are obsessed with PHET simulations! They had so much fun playing around with the skatepark

    Description

    Description:

    Do you need an easy and quick way for your students to explore potential and kinetic energy? This bundle of resources includes three different resources that each include a student handout and lesson slides for the PHET Energy Skate Park Simulation. Part 1 has students explore kinetic energy and how mass and speed affect the amount of kinetic energy. Part 2 has students explore potential energy and how mass, height, and gravity affect the amount of gravitational potential energy. And, part 3 focuses on how potential and kinetic energy are related and what the law of conservation of energy is. This bundle is aligned to MS-PS3-1, 2, & 5 and allows students to draw their own conclusions about potential and kinetic energy.

    *MUST HAVE POWERPOINT TO EDIT THIS RESOURCE!

    What's Included? Each Resource Includes:

    • 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 and kinetic 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.

    Thank you for visiting my store! I am SO honored you are here! Being able to share ideas with other teachers brings me great joy! If you like this product, please leave a review or share a picture on Instagram of this product in your classroom! Don’t forget to tag @mrsnelsonsmiddles!

    NGSSMS-PS3-2
    Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. Emphasis is on relative amounts of potential energy, not on calculations of potential energy. Examples of objects within systems interacting at varying distances could include: the Earth and either a roller coaster cart at varying positions on a hill or objects at varying heights on shelves, changing the direction/orientation of a magnet, and a balloon with static electrical charge being brought closer to a classmate’s hair. Examples of models could include representations, diagrams, pictures, and written descriptions of systems. Assessment is limited to two objects and electric, magnetic, and gravitational interactions.
    NGSSMS-PS3-5
    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.
    NGSSMS-PS3-1
    Construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object. Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball.
