Instructional Ideas

• Project the interactive and try a few together as a class before individuals begin the lesson
• Allow visual learners to use scratch paper and draw the scenarios as they work
  

Classroom Considerations

• Students should be comfortable with kinetic and potential energy concepts to include changes in motion
  

Pros

• Three skill levels make it easy for pupils to measure their own progress in understanding energy
• The support materials include discussion questions, a tutorial, and lesson extensions
  

Cons

• None
