This set of 35 "clicker" questions (with answer key) was developed by a high school teacher specifically for use with the PhET Energy Skate Park simulation. It may be freely downloaded as a pdf file or as a Power Point document to enable teachers to sort and customize. Multiple screenshots and illustrations help students visualize changing kinetic/potential energy levels in a variety of situations. Student responses can be used to gauge understanding of conservation of energy.
Editor's Note: Middle school teachers may choose to skip Slides 20-35, as they pertain more to an introductory Physics course. This item is part of a larger collection of resources developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET) at the University of Colorado.

Topic: Conservation of Energy
Unit Title: Conservation of Energy This set of 35 clicker questions (with answer key) was developed by PhET Gold Star teacher Trish Loeblein for use in the high school classroom with the Energy Skate Park simulation. You can download it as a pdf or as a Power Point file with answer key. It is designed to elicit student understanding of three key things: 1) Relationship of kinetic and potential energy in a mechanical system, 2) Conservation of energy conservation in a system both with and without friction (adding friction introduces the concept of thermal energy), and 3) Relationship of the skater's mass, speed, and track configuration.
