Conservation of Energy

by: Michael Horton

This activity is inquiry because students have not yet been exposed to the idea of gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. Students should be able to measure this by performing this activity. They will compare the velocity that they calculate using conservation of energy to a distance/time calculation that they learned previously.
