Activity Name
Observing that energy is ability to do work
Objectives
- Show the connection between energy and work done
- When force is applied, work is done and this changes energy state of the body
Method
Time
Materials
Use images for discussion
Steps
- Ask students to hold a brick
- What happens to their hand?
- What happens if it is dropped?
- What are the forces acting on it?
- Investigate similarly with a spring
- Investiate similarly with a rubber band - catapult
Discussion questions
- Are you spending energy?
- Where is it coming from?
- Do you feel any force? Where is it acting from?
- When you do work, energy is spent. Where does the energy go (stored as potential energy)?
- What happens to the potential energy(Becomes kinetic)?
Notes(optional)
Academic standards met
- Asking questions
- Experimentation
- Conceptual understanding
