Your introductory physical science class will be energized by this PowerPoint. They will be able to define energy, work, and power. They will be able to perform calculations for kinetic and potential energy. They will be able to describe the various simple machines and forms of energy. Truly, this selection of 71 slides can serve as a note-taking guide for several lessons on energy and work. Make sure to break it up with hands-on experience using simple machines and pendulums.
Students determine their horsepower when walking up and down the stairs. In this physics lesson, students calculate work and power. They differentiate the two concepts.
Students calculate their work and power when running up the stairs. In this physics instructional activity, students differentiate the two. They graph collected data from each group member and complete analysis questions.
This wonderful recap of powerful figures in scientific history includes pictures, important dates, and the information about their inventions or impact. Atomic structure and the photoelectric effect are introduced. The first slide gives some helpful learning objectives and activating questions. Use this at the beginning of your quantum physics unit.
High schoolers conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. For this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.
In this work and power worksheet, students complete a crossword about units of power and energy. Students complete 12 blanks in the crossword.
In this energy, work and power activity, students solve 12 problems about circuits, electric motors, Ohm's Law and electric currents.
A combination of short-answer and problem-solving questions is presented here. Physics pupils define work and power and identify useful equations. They then apply the equations by calculating the amount of work done and power required in four different scenarios. This is a practical worksheet for reviewing work and power. Pair it with a laboratory activity to provide a well-rounded lesson.
Twelve pages of mostly multiple-choice questions comprise this comprehensive New York Regents physics exam. It covers an entire year's worth of physics curriculum and requires about three hours for completion. Review the questions to make sure that they are all covered in your class, then create your own answer sheet for student use. This is an outstanding resource to use as a final exam.
Students explain how force and work is related. In this physics lesson, students give examples of energy transformation that takes place in their daily lives. They perform mathematical calculations on energy and forces.
