Ball drop

Posted by sat on Sat, 2014-03-15 15:36

This online resource looks at the transfer of energy.

The resource is a student activity that focuses on the energy conversions between GPE and KE when a ball bounces.

The investigation begins with a teacher demonstration and explanation then moves on to student investigations, dropping different balls from different heights.

Simple but effective.
