Instructional Ideas
- Perform experiments related to kinetic and potential energy during class time
Classroom Considerations
- Requires background knowledge of various formulas
- Lesson best fits as a review of energy types
Pros
- Includes three worksheets that review the material in the slides
Cons
- Video uses many colloquialisms that may not be appropriate in all classrooms
- Uses falling Twin Towers on 9/11 as an example of potential energy converting to kinetic, which is a sensitive topic and a rather graphic representation
