Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy – Lab Station Activity

Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy Lab Station Activity This editable 9-station lab activity allows students to get out of their seats and actively learn about kinetic and gravitational potential energy. The hands-on stations engage students through drawing, research, opinion-writing, and more. Questions and reading assignments connect the content to real-world applications. A recording sheet allows students to document their work as they rotate through the stations. This activity can be used to review before a test or as an immersive lab experience. It covers key concepts like kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and the conservation of energy. Bonus vocabulary puzzles are included to keep students productive during transition times. Suitable for grade 9-11 physics classes, this lab station activity needs almost no teacher prep and provides an exciting opportunity for students to interact with the content.
