Answer Keys
 
Part1: Energy Worksheet
In this part, students will read about what energy means in science, examples of energy, and how it may be transformed. Students will then describe the energy transformation in three situations on their worksheets.
 
Part 2: Potential and Kinetic Energy PHET Worksheet
In this part, students will play an online Phet Simulation to explore how a skater's potential and kinetic energy are transformed. I have included links and QR codes for easy access to the stimulation, as well as teacher directions and tips.
After the exploration, students will answer some questions related to the activity.
 
Part 3: P.E and K.E Calculation Worksheet
 
Here, students will solve calculation questions involving potential and kinetic energy. Answer keys included.
 
Part 4: The law of conservation of energy Calculation Worksheet
 
In this part, students will solve calculation questions involving the law of conservation of energy. Answer keys included.
 
***The worksheets can be used as stand-alone or with your existing resource.***
 
Grade Level:
Grades 7 - 10
 
I am confident this resource will be a wonderful addition to your teaching toolbox. It is fun, engaging, and requires little prep time, which is a win for the teacher.
 
Thanks and have an awesome class!
