Delete these instructions when done! ====== Recall Energy ====== ===== Prompt ===== ** "Write down something you know about energy." ** ===== Context ===== This [[strategy:smallwhiteboard:|SWBQ]] can be used to prompt students to think about energy in a more general sense, beyond introductory level physics. Likely students will respond with particular equations such as $PE=mgh$ or $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ which are prevalent in lower-division courses. This question can be used to discuss various definitions, equations, and laws involving energy. ===== Wrap Up ===== This small whiteboard questions part of a sequence of activities addressing the [[whitepapers:sequences:1dinternalenergy|Internal Energy of a One Dimensional System]]. Other activities included within this sequence are as follows: * Follow-up activities: * [[swbq:emsw:vfswwork|Recall Work]]: This small whiteboard questions prompts students to write down something they know about work. * [[courses:activities:vfact:vfpederivmach|Internal Energy of the "Derivative Machine"]]: This small group activity serves as an introduction to experimentally measuring an integral by determining the internal energy, $U$, of a nonlinear system at several locations. {{vfswenergy.ppt|Powerpoint slide}} \\\\ {{vfswenergy.pdf|PDF slide}} {{page>wiki:footers:courses:syfooter}} {{page>wiki:footers:topics:emfooter}}
