GLE 0507.Inq.3 Organize data into appropriate tables, graphs, drawings, or diagrams.

GLE 0507.Inq.4 Identify and interpret simple patterns of evidence to communicate the findings of multiple investigations.

GLE 0507.Inq.5 Recognize that people may interpret the same results in different ways.

GLE 0507.Inq.6 Compare the results of an investigation with what scientists already accept about this question. || **Content Standards** || GLE 0507.10.1 Design an experiment to illustrate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. ||

Directions - Use the PhET simulation, Energy Skate Park: Basic, to build background knowledge about potential energy, kinetic energy, motion, etc. Explore using the built-in charts. Record observations in the bulleted list below. Hit RETURN key to add more bullet points.



Testing Hypothesis
Now use a pair of Vernier Motion Sensors on the same computer pointed to opposite ends of a track with a toy car to track the distance and time to measure Velocity, Acceleration, and Speed.
