Work and Energy - Lab Station

Work and Energy - Lab Station Activity This lab station activity allows students to apply their understanding of work, energy, joules, and power by moving around the classroom and conducting hands-on investigations. Designed for middle and high school science classrooms, it can be used to introduce or assess key physics concepts surrounding energy transfer. Students will rotate through stations focused on calculating work, identifying energy transfers, relating joules to everyday examples, and more. Assign specific stations for groups to complete or have students tackle several. Easy to implement and grade within a class period, these physics lab stations encourage peer learning and sparks students' interest in energy concepts. Adjustable for whole-class, small group, or individual work, making it versatile for various teaching approaches.
