Week 4- Work and Energy

This week's Learning Objectives: Explain the relationship between Kinetic energy and Potential energy.

In week 4 we will be building upon our study of motion by learning about Work and Energy.  Our study of Potential energy and Kinetic energy will be applied to this week's assignment, designing a roller coaster.  Be prepared to discuss your roller coaster design next week in breakout groups in our zoom meeting.
