Monday, 27 September and Tuesday, 28 September, 2010


This is HL #9. Follow all written directions!


This handout is to be used to complete the virtual activity.


This is your do now sheet. Complete the Venn diagrams before writing complete sentences.

Students will be able to:
use information from handouts, internet access, and classroom discussion to
-distinguish between kinetic energy and potential energy.
-interpret and evaluate data/observations in order to formulate a logical conclusion.

Students did a compare and contrast Venn diagram on potential and kinetic energy. They then wrote, using the Cornell notes style, the contents of the Venn diagram as complete sentences. You can find the handout above.

You can also find the handout, HL #9 at the top of this blog.

Students then explored the pHet simulation on kinetic and potential as it relates to the skate park. You can find the simulation by cutting and pasting the following into the browser window....http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park.

Be sure to also do the pendulum activity, which is the second link.

The home learning for Tuesday AND Wednesday is to update the interactive notebook. Be sure to power write up the lab!
