Free Conservation of Energy Lab
A free conservation of energy lab for high school physics.
Students use bouncy balls and rubber poppers to collect data and analyze how energy is stored, transferred, and lost.
Grades 9–12 · NGSS HS-PS3-2 · Household materials
What teachers get
- A Unit 6 conservation of energy lab in which students use bouncy balls and rubber poppers to investigate gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, elastic potential energy, energy transformations, and bounce efficiency.
- A complete student handout with step-by-step procedures, data tables, and analysis questions, plus an answer key.
- A materials list that uses household items, in a printable, ready-to-use format.
