CONVERTING GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
TO KINETIC ENERGY
Kit #207S — Developed by SEPUP

This kit introduces students to the concepts of kinetic and gravitational potential energy and
the conversion of one form of energy into another . Students design and conduct an experiment
to quantitatively test how the variables of mass and height affect the energy carried by a
metal cylinder . The investigation in this activity allows students to explore energy transfer, the
relationship of gravitational potential energy to mass and height, and the transformation of
potential energy to kinetic energy .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four students.

EXPLORING NEWTON’S
FIRST LAW: INERTIA

Kit #351S — Developed by SEPUP
Using the specially-designed track, students investigate inertia
by observing a marble’s motion . They observe a marble in
motion around a circular track then predict what path it will
follow when a section of the track is removed, allowing the
marble to roll unconstrained across the table top . They discover
that once the marble leaves the confines of the track, it moves
in a straight line path . Students also investigate how changing
the mass of the marble affects the motion of the marble on
the track . In Part 2 they complete a reading about inertia and
Newton’s First Law of Motion .
Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four students.
