Back and forth - Year 10 CLE
This online resource covers energy transformation and conservation.
The resource is a Science ASSIST Connected Learning Experience (CLE) to help teach Year 10 students the concepts involved in energy transformation and conservation.
Description: In this investigation, energy transformation and energy conservation are investigated by analysing the motion of a pendulum.
Learning intentions
Students will be able to:
- explain that one or more different forms (or types) of energy can be present at the same time;
- understand how one form of energy can be transformed into other forms and vice versa;
- identify that the total amount of energy remains constant (total energy is conserved);
- identify and describe the relationship between the length of a pendulum and its period;
- identify and describe the relationship between the mass and angle of release of a pendulum and its period;
- draw conclusions based on evidence;
- identify sources of error;
- identify improvements that could increase the reliability of data;
- communicate science ideas using appropriate language and representations.
