Energy Conservation using PhET
Activity: Students use PhET's ‘Energy Skate Park’ simulation to study energy transformations. They will explore the relationship between kinetic and potential energy by manipulating the height and mass of the skater. This activity helps students make observations and derive conclusions on the conservation of energy.
Motion Analysis with Tracker
Activity: Record a projectile motion experiment and use Tracker software to analyse the motion. Students can measure parameters such as velocity and acceleration. This hands-on digital analysis provides them with experience collecting and processing real-time data.
Kinematics and Graphing with GeoGebra
Activity: Use GeoGebra to create real-time velocity and acceleration graphs. Have students manipulate the input data to understand changes in motion parameters, such as uniform acceleration or free fall.
