Drop It! Kinetic and Potential Energy
by Nina Hipps
In this lesson, students explore gravitational potential energy changes with the mass of an object and the height from which it is dropped. Students record the drop in slow motion to capture the rebound and record data in this engaging hands-on lesson.
