How does the Elastic get the Potential Energy?
by David Gleeson
Students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator, graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their linear line and then, hopefully, derive the equation for Elastic Potential Energy.

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search

A lesson designed for an engineering course but that can be used in a science course where we investigate the physics of waves and how it can be applied to the world of art. Students will design and

The first rule in the chemistry lab is “don’t eat or drink or lick anything in the lab”! This lesson breaks those rules and shows students how culinary is really a practical application of chemistry
