Ball Experiment on Gravitational Potential Energy [minimal prep]
The ball experiment helps students learn about potential and kinetic energy using everyday objects. Students learn the importance of precise measurements and data since each step in the lab experiment requires precise data from the previous step. Students also calculate the gravitational potential energy for each type of ball and bounce and then use the data to generate their findings. ***Minimal prep***The only prep involved is gathering the prerequisite materials: Three different types of ba
