====== 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.
