Energy Part 3
Chapter 9: Energy Transformations

Pace: 10 class periods
Checkpoint:  16 January

BIG IDEAS
P4.3 Potential and Kinetic Energy
Moving objects have kinetic energy. Objects experiencing a force may have potential energy due to their relative positions (e.g., lifting an object or stretching a spring, energy stored in chemical bonds). Conversions between kinetic and gravitational potential energy are common in moving objects. In frictionless systems, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy or vice versa. 
Standards Covered:
  • P4.3A  Identify the form of energy in given situations (e.g., moving objects, stretched springs, rocks on cliffs, energy in food). 
  • P4.3B  Describe the transformation between potential and kinetic energy in simple mechanical systems (e.g., pendulums, roller coasters, ski lifts). 
  • P4.3C  Explain why all mechanical systems require an external energy source to maintain their motion.
  • P4.3e  Calculate the changes in kinetic and potential energy in simple mechanical systems (e.g., pendulums, roller coasters, ski lifts) using the formulas for kinetic energy and potential energy.

9 Pretest and Differentiation

If you score a 90% or above on this pretest on your first attempt you will not need to complete any of the practice for this unit and an accelerated assignment will be provided.  The pretest is not open internet or buddy or book.  This pretest will be timed and may only be completed in class.
