Description

LAB-AIDS Converting Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy Kit helps students to design and conduct an experiment to quantitatively test how the variables of mass and height affect the energy carried by a metal cylinder. It introduces students to the concepts of kinetic and gravitational potential energy and the conversion of one form of energy into another. It includes activity that allows students to explore energy transfer, the relationship of gravitational potential energy to mass/height and the transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy.
