TEACHING STRATEGIES
Lecture & Demonstration method

WARM UP Brainstorming Session: 10

ACTIVITY Energy Transformations Min
 Divide students into small groups.
 Provide scenarios or objects and ask each group to
brainstorm and discuss potential energy transformations
into other forms (e.g., kinetic energy, thermal energy).
 Encourage creativity and critical thinking in identifying
energy conversions.

MAIN ACTIVITY  Define potential energy and discuss its different forms (e.g., 5 Min
gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy).
 Explain how potential energy is stored within objects due to
their position or configuration.
 Engage students in a brief discussion on the importance of
potential energy in everyday life.
PRESENTATION Potential energy is a fundamental concept in physics, representing 20
the energy an object possesses due to its position or condition. It is Min
the energy stored within a system that can be converted into other
forms of energy. The formula to calculate potential energy depends
on the type of potential energy involved:
 Gravitational Potential Energy (U): U = mgh, where:
 U is the gravitational potential energy,
 m is the mass of the object,
 g is the acceleration due to gravity,
 h is the height or vertical position of the object
relative to a reference point.
 Elastic Potential Energy (PE): PE = 0.5 * k * x^2, where:
 PE is the elastic potential energy,
 k is the spring constant,
 x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

SUM UP 1. Recap the key concepts learned about potential energy. 2 Min
2. Emphasize the importance of understanding potential
energy in various scientific and real-world contexts.
3. Encourage students to continue exploring and observing
energy transformations in their daily lives.

ASSESSMENT Pose conceptual questions to assess students' understanding of 2 Min

potential energy concepts, such as:
 How does potential energy relate to an object's position?
 What factors affect the amount of potential energy an object
possesses?
 Can potential energy be negative? Explain.

HOME ASSIGNMENT 1 Min

 Task students with observing and documenting instances of potential energy in their
surroundings for a week.
 In their notebooks or worksheets, students should describe each scenario, identify
the type of potential energy involved, and explain how it is transformed or utilized.
