The topics covered will be: - forces acting on people (and on the cart) when riding a rollercoaster, including the centripetal force - transfers of gravitational, thermal and kinetic energy - the idea of conservation of energy, input vs wasted and useful output - Application of Newton's laws to understand how our body reacts on a rollercoaster The class will be structured around simple power point slides and the use of a free online simulation (created by the University of Colorado Boulder; no account needed). All the necessary keywords will be explained; no prior knowledge necessary. My teaching style is interactive: I like to ask questions to stimulate learners' own thinking, and I am happy to try and answer any questions they have!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The online simulation has no scary or upsetting content, it runs in any browser, and does not require an account. Students will be encouraged to explore it freely to see how different factors affect energy stores and motion. Here is the link: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/energy-skate-park
Supply List
If you have a toy rollercoaster, bring it to class!
