  1. Oct. 9, 2018 Daily Agenda Potential / Kinetic Energy Written by Katherine Pease For 6th Grade Science at Lyles Middle School

  2. Oct. 9, 2018 Collect PDN From Green Basket Sharpen Pencil Sit in assigned Seat Complete PDN on own Take out Chromebook, Login to Google Classroom Click on classwork Click on Potential / Kinetic Energy Quizlet Play “Match” or “Gravity” to practice vocabulary

  3. TEK 6.8A (A) compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy

  4. LO Students will investigate potential vs’ kinetic energy using a skatepark virtual lab activity.

  5. DOL Students will complete 5/5 questions over potential/kinetic energy with 80% accuracy or higher.

  6. Now it is your turn to put your Energy Knowledge to work… Click on the link for Skatepark below and follow along with your teachers directions. PHET Skatepark Virtual Lab https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/energy-skate-park-basics/latest/energy-skate-park-basics_en.html

Potential Energy is the energy __________________ in an object because of its _________________. Kinetic Energy is the energy of _____________________________.

  8. Directions for Skate Park Simulation: Login to website: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/energy-skate-park-basics/latest/energy-skate-park-basics_en.html Click on Intro Place your Skater at the top of the half pipe ramp, click the Play arrow and record what happens.. 4. Click on the Bar Graph in the upper right corner 5. Repeat #3 , record how the bar graph changes as the skater goes up and down the ramp. 6.

  9. Click on “bar graph”. Watch as the skater moves across the track and how it changes the levels of potential and kinetic energy. (You can slow or pause the skater down at the bottom of the simulator window to help you observe) Where / When is the skater’s Gravitational Potential Energy the highest (most) ? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. The lowest (least) ___________________________________________________________________________________. 3. Where / When is the skater’s kinetic energy the highest (most)? __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. The lowest (least) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 5. When are the kinetic and gravitational potential energy levels the same? _______________________________________
