Embedded Standards
GLE 0507.Inq.1 Explore different scientific
phenomena by asking questions, making logical
predictions, planning investigations, and
recording data.
GLE 0507.Inq.2 Select and use appropriate
tools and simple equipment to conduct an
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.
Building Knowledge
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.
Observations from Simulation
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.
