How Powerful are You? A Stair Climb Power Lab
by David Gleeson
Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy (changing height) is the work they do (fighting gravity) divided by the time it takes is their power output.
