  • Using PhET's Energy Skate Park simulation, you will explore how energy transforms between kinetic and potential as a skater moves along different tracks. Create screenshots of different track positions and label energy types, then calculate total mechanical energy to demonstrate conservation.

  • Write a short reflection containing 5-10 sentences explaining:

    •Why is it important to understand kinetic and potential energy in real life?

    •How can this knowledge help in designing things like roller coasters, sports techniques, or safety features?
