Introduction
This lesson is going to cover the difference between potential and kinetic energy. Students will be instructed to do their own research based off of the given articles and website URLS to discover the various types of energy.
Task
The student is required to find 1 link that explains potential energy
the student is required to find 1 link that explains kinetic energy
the student then has to explain to their partner the difference between the two before moving onto a hands-on example.
Process
Work in groups of 2 or 3 to find links that best explain what each type of energy consists of.
Evaluation
We will have a quizlet created that will test knowledge at the end of class.
