Students will be able to:
use information from textbooks, demonstrations, and classroom discussions to
-describe the types of kinetic energy.
Students continue the short story as their home learning, which is due on Friday.
The do now was an FCAT transparency on chemical changes.
Students did the UCAR activity on potential to kinetic energy. To access the activity, go to Dr. Gayden's Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) and click the link for Wednesday, 5 January for the Sixth graders. Be sure to observe the change for potential to kinetic energy and back as the skaters traverse the skate park! Try the activity with different skaters, on different planets, and by changing the coefficient of friction. What do you ALWAYS notice about the TOTAL amount of energy?
Have fun!
