Teaching Grade 10 Energy

I really do think I have the best job in the world. I get to talk to inspiring people about teaching. Their passion and excitement is contagious. 

Annabel is one of these people. It feels wrong to sit when talking to her as she is just full of so much energy. I suppose that's appropriate considering the topic of this webinar!
Dancing on tables, throwing balls and building roller coasters - sounds like an exciting classroom to be in? These are some of the practical activities Annabel uses in her class to help with the conceptual understanding of this section. This section needs a lot of drill and practice, so it's good to do something fun for the learners to tie the knowledge to.

Why don't you take a click through Annabel's slides?

The links we looked at in the webinar:
  • Skate park
  • YouTube clip with the pendulum
  • Build a roller coaster
  • Fun roller coaster building game
  • Another roller coaster builder

Here are some addition links with teaching resources:
  • Potential energy
  • Kinetic energy
  • Worksheet on Ek  and Ep
  • Definition and pendulum simulation
  • Examples of mechanical energy
  • YouTube examples 
  • The experiment with a clear pipe 
  • Worksheet with additional questions

Before I say goodbye, remember that you can find more content related resources on the Mindset Learn website.

Until next time, happy teaching!
