1. J # 3 KINETIC ENERGY LAB PAGES 14-15 OR 16-17 Learning Target: I can construct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object.

2. EACH GROUP WILL TEST THE DIFFERENT KINETIC ENERGY IN GOLF BALLS AND PING PONG BALLS. YOU WILL USE A METER STICK, BOOKS, 2 PIECES OF HOTWHEELS TRACK, GOLF BALL, AND PING PONG BALL.  What affects do mass and speed have on kinetic energy?  Using the information collected from the web search, write a hypothesis in the : If…Then…Because… format.

3. EXAMPLE CHART YOU WILL NEED A TOTAL OF 5 OF THESE ONE FOR EACH HEIGHT YOU TEST.

4. TEST THE BALLS AT 5 DIFFERENT HEIGHTS ON THE METER STICKS AND COLLECT THE DATA OF THE FOLLOWING: TIME, DISTANCE, AND MASS  How to calculate velocity: Velocity = Distance/Time  Once you find all the velocity The mass of the Golf Ball is 45.8 g  The Ping Pong ball’s mass is 2.3 g

5. COLLECT DATA SHARE DATA WITH THE CLASS GRAPH DATA
