Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How are changes in energy calculated?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to describe all the changes involved in the way energy is stored when a system changes, for common situations. For example: an object projected upwards
  2. The amount of elastic potential energy stored in a stretched spring can be calculated using the equation: elastic potential energy = 0.5 x spring constant x extension 2
  3. Students should be able to calculate the amount of energy associated with a moving object, a stretched spring and an object raised above ground level.
  4. The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated using the equation: kinetic energy = 0.5 ? mass ? speed2
  5. The amount of gravitational potential energy gained by an object raised above ground level can be calculated using the equation: g.p.e. = mass x gravitational field strength x height
  6. Students should be able to describe, with examples, how in all system changes energy is dissipated, so that it is stored in less useful ways. This energy is often described as being "wasted".

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What energy changes are involved when an object is projected upwards?
    When an object is projected upwards gravitational potential energy will increase, thermal energy will increase due to friction, which will cause the kinetic energy to decrease.
  2. What is the equation for elastic potential energy?
    The equation for elastic potential energy is elastic potential energy = 0.5 x spring constant x extension^2
  3. What equation links g.p.e., height, mass and gravitational field strength?
    Gravitational potential energy = height x mass x gravitational field strength
  4. What equation is used to calculate kinetic energy of a moving object?
    The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated using the equation: kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x speed^2
  5. What is the equation for gravitational potential energy gained by an object raised above ground level?
    The equation for gravitation potential energy gained by an object above ground level is G.P.E = mass x gravitational field strength x height
  6. In all system changes, what happens to energy?
    In all system changes energy is dissipated, so that it is stored in less useful ways. This energy is often described as being 'wasted'.
