Let's Do Learning

What are the forms of potential energy? When we understand that there is potential and kinetic energy, we ask ourselves, "Are there different forms of potential and kinetic energy?" This lesson introduces four forms of potential energy and explains three of them in depth. The fourth, nuclear energy, is a concept for high school. The three that are taught are mechanical energy, gravitational energy, and chemical energy. Students watch a video created by "Let's Do Learning" and demonstrate their u

In this milk with food coloring and soap experiment students will be awestruck with the outcome. The packet includes links to student appropriate websites so students can gain background knowledge about the properties of milk in order to better form a hypothesis. They will navigate through the scientific method while being amazed by the results of this hands on science activity. This is sure to elicit many, "Oh!'s from your students. Included at the end of this unit are photographs of

What is energy? Let's watch a YouTube video explaining the transfer of energy from potential to kinetic. Once students understand the terms energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and work, they decide what experiment they wish to perform in order to explain how energy transfers from potential to kinetic. A student's Wow! moment comes from actually experiencing the learning process. In this inquiry based lesson, students get to explore the concepts presented on their own rather than just bein
