3. **Analysis:**
- Investigate how energy is conserved in closed systems, utilizing real-life examples.
- Explain the relationship between mass, height, speed, and energy in various systems.

4. **Synthesis:**
- Create a project or experiment demonstrating energy transformation (e.g., a model illustrating potential to kinetic energy conversion).

5. **Evaluation:**
- Present findings in a class discussion or presentation, reflecting on the implications of energy conservation in everyday life.

### II. Objectives

1. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- Explain the concepts of kinetic and potential energy.
- Compute kinetic and potential energy using the formulas:
- Kinetic Energy (KE) = \( \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \)
- Potential Energy (PE) = \( mgh \)
- Demonstrate understanding through a hands-on activity that shows energy conversion.

### III. Materials Needed

- Measuring tape
- Stopwatch
- Protractors
- Mass weights (e.g., small weights or objects)
- Computers/tablets (for calculations and simulations)
- Projector and whiteboard

### IV. Instructional Activities

1. **Introduction (15 minutes):**
- Begin with a discussion on energy. Ask students to provide examples of kinetic and potential energy from their daily life.
- Introduce the definitions of kinetic and potential energy, emphasizing their significance in physics.

2. **Direct Instruction (20 minutes):**
- Present the formulas for both kinetic and potential energy. Explain each component of the formulas.
- Discuss real-world applications and examples (e.g., a roller coaster ride illustrating both types of energy).

3. **Guided Practice (20 minutes):**
- Divide students into small groups and provide scenarios where they will need to calculate KE and PE.
- Each group will perform calculations using given data (mass, height, speed) and share their results.

4. **Hands-On Activity (30 minutes):**
- Students conduct an experiment, such as rolling a ball down a ramp. They will measure the height (to calculate potential energy) and speed (to calculate kinetic energy) and observe the energy transformations.
- Each group will prepare to present their findings.

5. **Closure (15 minutes):**
- Have groups present their projects/experiments and findings to the class.
- Conduct a class discussion on how understanding kinetic and potential energy can impact decision-making in real life (e.g., engineering, safety).

### V. Assessment

- **Formative Assessment:** Throughout the lesson, assess students’ understanding through observations and questions.
- **Summative Assessment:** A quiz at the end of the lesson covering definitions, formulas, and application problems related to kinetic and potential energy.
- Evaluate group projects based on clarity, understanding of energy transformations, and creativity in demonstrating concepts.

### VI. Differentiation

- **For Advanced Learners:** Challenge students to explore complex systems (e.g., mechanical systems) and assess energy workflow.
- **For Struggling Learners:** Provide additional resources and one-on-one assistance in calculating energy and understanding concepts.
- **For Visual Learners:** Use diagrams and videos to illustrate concepts of kinetic and potential energy in engaging ways.
