Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Qualitative Examples of Conservation of Mechanical Energy lesson plan also includes:
  • Activity
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Instructions for series of six activites, a reading of scientific literature, and a choice of six assessments await you in this physics resource. Well-written plans guide you in guiding your pupils to experiment with levers, pulleys, rolling marbles, springs, and more. They will learn that energy is conserved, transferred into other forms, and how to put it to use in practical terms. Mathematical equations are employed in each activity, making these lessons most appropriate for high school physics.
