Work and Energy (Part 1)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Start working with work and energy with your higher-level physics class. The narrator, Sal, starts off with defintions of the two terms, showing how they are related to one another. He then goes into an example and derives a formula for work and kinetic energy. The video is fairly complex, so you might need additional practice and explanation for pupils to fully understand the material.
