Work & Energy

My students love earning Joule-Bucks

The rollercoaster project serves as a summative assessment that allows for student creativity.

Joule-Bucks Game!

It’s a game I created that’s based on energy transfer being analogous to banking. We play it often

throughout the unit to strengthen calculation skills

When I have a Life Skills student in class they love to be my banker!

Work

Work is a great segue from forces to energy!

Types of Energy

The resources you’ll find here focus on kinetic, gravitational potential and spring potential energies.

The Hooke’s Law lab is an excellent interdisciplinary opportunity to reinforce linear functions!

Conservation of Energy

The culminating work of the unit: Putting it all together!
