Lesson Plan: Kinetic Energy Science
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to determine the energy of an object due to its motion.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recall that kinetic energy is associated with the speed of the motion of an object,
- use the formula kinetic energy = .
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the fact that kinetic energy is an energy category associated with object motion.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- calculations of transfer between kinetic energy and other energy categories,
- rearrangement of the formula kinetic energy = .
