Instructional Ideas

• Supplement this presentation into an introductory physics lesson on energy
• While viewing the presentation, use physical demonstrations to reinforce key concepts like kinetic energy, potential energy, work, and power
• Create guided practice problems that allow students to apply the different equations introduced in the presentation
• Insert images and diagrams into the presentation that reinforce concepts relating to energy

Classroom Considerations

• This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

• Key terms are highlighted in the presentation using a yellow font
• Provides students with equations for calculating kinetic energy, potential energy, work, and power
• Resource is available as a PowerPoint file that teachers can modify to meet the needs of their individual classes

Cons

• None
