WOODLAND HILLS HIGH SCHOOL LESSON PLAN

SAS and Understanding By Design Template

Name: Andrew Heffner Date: 01/05/14 Length of Lesson: 21 Periods/3 Weeks Content Area: AP Physics

STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Work Definition, Work Calculations, Hooke’s Law, F(x) Graphs, Work-Energy Connection, Energy Definition, Kinetic Energy, Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem, potential energy, Conservative and Non-Conservative Forces, Conservation of Energy, Power / BIG IDEAS: (Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)
3.2.10.B2.1: Explain how the overall energy flowing through a system remains constant.
3.2.10.B2.2: Describe the Work-Energy Theorem.
3.2.10.B2.3: Explain the relationship between work and power.
S11.C.2.1: Analyze energy sources and transfer of energy, or conversion of energy.
All motion can be explained by the laws of conservation of energy and momentum.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
The position and velocity of an object can be represented in terms of kinetic energy, potential energy, and momentum.
The total amount of energy in a closed system is conserved.
In every transformation of energy, some energy is converted to thermal energy.
In a closed system, the total work performed by objects may be calculated from the change in kinetic energy. / ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
What is the definition of work?
What is energy, and how is it measured?
What is the relationship between work and energy?
How does an object lose or gain energy?
What happens to energy when it “leaves” an object?
What are the types of energy?
What is “Conservation of Energy”?

VOCABULARY:

Work, Energy, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Spring Constant, Mechanical Energy, Work-Energy Theorem, Conservation of Energy, Power.

STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):

Students will be able to:
…Define and calculate work done by a force.
