Energy Theater: Exploring Energy Transfer and Transformation
written by
Alice Flarend and Caroline Hall
consultant:
David Straw
This AAPT lesson for high school conceptual physics incorporates student movement to promote deeper understanding of how energy moves and transforms among objects and systems. It features several interdisciplinary scenarios in which energy moves from one system to another or is converted from one form to another (energy transformation). Students play the role of "energy actors", moving from one defined system to another or transforming (i.e., from chemical-to-thermal energy). The lesson was inspired by an article in The Physics Teacher magazine, written by Abigail Daane, Lindsay Wells, and Rachel Scherr.
