Key Stage 4 Science Physics teaching resource for

Resource Title

"Kinetic energy in action"

This resource is part of a collection with the following variants:

101412 - KS4 Low Ability [THIS DOCUMENT]

101411 - KS4 High Ability

Précis

Students use formulae to calculate the kinetic energy existing within the carriages when they are in use

Contextual Summary

This resource is for key stage 4 students who are covering forces and kinetic energy as part of the science element of the science (physics and additional science) curriculum for all exam boards.

It allows students who visit Isle of Wight Steam Railway to engage, post-visit, with the scientific aspects of this environment.

Students can use formulae to work out how much kinetic energy is utilised in the carriages for each section of the journey.

Students will present their observations and data using appropriate methods, including tables, showing how they have completed calculations.

Key Skills Practised

Present observations and data using appropriate methods, including tables
Use of standard equations
Identifying aspects of mass, speed and kinetic energy
Drawing conclusions from their observations at the railway

Learning Opportunities

Pre-Visit

Students need to have done some preparatory work on speed/time/distance graphs and displacement graphs, as well as work on force/energy.
