| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Work-Energy Theorem
College (typically ages 18-22)
Physics
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Theory | 5 | Introduce the Work-Energy Theorem. Discuss its definition and importance in physics. Summarize key terms: work and energy. |
| 2 | Mathematical Derivation | 10 | Derive the Work-Energy theorem formula: ( W = \Delta KE ). Show examples of how to calculate work done on different objects. |
| 3 | Application of Theorem | 10 | Discuss real-world applications (e.g., roller coasters, car crashes). Provide numerical problems for students to solve in pairs. |
| 4 | Problem-Solving Session | 5 | Allow students to work on a few selected problems from the worksheet. Circulate and assist students as needed. |
| 5 | Summary and Homework | 5 | Summarize key points from the lesson. Distribute homework assignments that reinforce the material covered. Explain how homework will be checked without presentations. |
Assigned problems based on the Work-Energy Theorem to be submitted the following class. Students will complete their worksheets without the need for public presentations. Instead, submission will be reviewed by the teacher for understanding and grading.
Observation of student participation during discussions and pair work. Review of homework for comprehension of key concepts and problem-solving techniques.
The lesson aligns with national physics standards focusing on energy, work, and the principles of mechanics. This includes performance expectations and scientific practices as outlined by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
