and its velocity
STRAND 7C, 7D, 8.2B, 8.3B
Concept B: Mechanical energy comes from the motion
(kinetic energy) and/or relative position (potential
energy) of an object
1.2.B.b Relate an object’s gravitational potential
energy to its weight and height relative to the
surface of the Earth
STRAND 7C
Concept B: Mechanical energy comes from the motion
(kinetic energy) and/or relative position (potential
energy) of an object
1.2.B.c Distinguish between examples of kinetic
and potential energy (i.e., gravitational, elastic)
within a system
STRAND 7C
Concept B: Mechanical energy comes from the motion
(kinetic energy) and/or relative position (potential
energy) of an object
1.2.B.d Describe the effect of work on an object’s
kinetic and potential energy
STRAND 7D
Concept F: Energy can change from one form to
another within and between systems, but the total
amount remains the same
1.2.F.a Describe the transformations that occur as
energy changes from kinetic to potential within a
system (e.g., car moving on rollercoaster track,
child swinging, diver jumping off a board) (Do
NOT assess calculations)

heavier ball than the others.
(2.3, 3.1, 4.1)
Have students investigate what will crack open a
peanut: a notebook or a textbook dropped from the
same height.
(1.2, 3.5)
Hang a weight (water balloon) from the ceiling.
Have the students predict if the student would be
hit when someone on the opposite side swings the
balloon. (don't give it a force, just let go.)
(1.2, 1.4, 3.5)
Refer to 1.2B.b. Now introduce the amount of
work involved. Then apply this to throwing a ball
up into the air. The more force given to the ball,
the higher it will go.
(1.2, 3.5)
Do the pendulum activity.
(1.6, 1.8, 3.5)
different masses of cargos. Discuss the
motivation and goal-setting of the
astronauts, in fact, the whole space
program.
Students will explain GPE's importance
in an egg drop contest (or dropping a
water balloon).
Students will find examples from current
events of KE and PE.
Students will identify work, PE and KE in
this situation. Then in a few more
examples provided by the teacher. Then
using student's examples.
Students will analyze the pendulum
activity diagramming the areas of PE, KE
and both.
