DO NOW:November 10, 2014TEKS: 6.8(A) Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy
1. Get out your Gold Do Now sheet2. Write this week’s HW in your
agenda: KE/PE Reading and Questions – due Friday
3. Q: In your own words, what is energy?

Homework and Reminders:Tutorials: Tuesday after school
KE and PE Quiz on Friday
Ms. SmithMrs. Malone
New Unit - Energy• Create a new Energy AHA
Connections Visual Outline on pages 46 and 47
• Turn your comp book sideways and create an Energy KWL chart on page 48
• Create a new unit page for Energy on page 49 by writing the word “Energy” in the center of the page. Fill the remainder of the page with words and pictures that come to mind when you hear the word “Energy”
ENERGY KWL CHART – Page 48
What do I know about energy?
What do I want to know about energy?
What did I learn about energy?

DO NOW:November 12-13, 2014TEKS: 6.8(A) Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy
1. Get out your Gold Do Now sheet2. Q: What are some forms that
energy can take?
• Watch the roller coaster from: http://www.funderstanding.com/coaster
• Answer the following questions:1. Why didn’t the roller coaster make it all the
way through at first?2. What could you change to make it work?
(include all possibilities).

Roller Coasters
Challenge: design and create a roller coaster that lets the marble travel all the way through.
Requirements:Marble must land in the cup at the end of the roller coasterHave at least 1 hill and 1 loopInclude a diagram with PE and KE labeled Record the length of the roller coaster, time it takes for the marble
to go through it, mass of the marble, and height of the first hillCalculate speed of the marble, and potential energy using
formulas.Conduct 5 trialsAnswer the conclusion questionsCreate a poster showing your design and how you have applied
your understanding of potential and kinetic energy

Roller Coaster Physics
phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skte-park
• What forces are acting on the roller coaster that might affect its speed?
Friction
Gravity
- due to surfaces touching- the frictional force on the roller coaster is between the track and the marble.- Air resistance may also be included here
- due to the pull of gravity to the center of the Earth.- the gravitational force pulls the marble down
This arrow represents friction. It is pushing against the movement of the roller coaster.
This arrow represents gravity. It is pushing down on the roller coaster.
Be prepared to draw arrows representing friction and gravity on your roller coaster poster
Forces on a Roller Coaster
Use a bar graph to represent potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) at different places on the roller coaster.
A
B
C
D
At point A, a bar graph for PE and KE would look like this:
What would a bar graph look like for points B, C and D?
Be prepared to label important areas for PE and KE on your roller coaster poster.
