    Learning Outcomes

    Determine how energy is converted during physical activity (eg. rock climbing). 

    Success Criteria

    1. Calculate kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.  Reminder that the unit for energy is Joules (J).

    Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * velocity2 

    Gravitational Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height 


    Activities

    1. In class note taking on energy calculations

    2. Practice calculating energy -- practice problems are posted (refer to Google Classroom) 


    **Note: No lesson on Thursday due to closing early for the Paid Union Meeting.
