Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: kinetic and potential energy (MS-PS3-1, MS-PS3-2); solving equations for a variable; squaring numbers and units.
Warm-up idea: Swing a pendulum bob from your nose (safely, without pushing) and ask why it doesn't come back and hit you.
Exit ticket idea: Students calculate the speed of a cart at the bottom of a frictionless ramp from its height, then explain what changes if friction is added.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
