Misconceptions Essential Questions What is and how is it related to work and energy? How can we calculate power in two different ways? Learning Outcomes Define power and give its unit. Give the relationship between work and power Relate the variables of work, power, kinetic energy, and potential energy to mechanical situations and solve for these variables. Phenomenon Science and Engineering Practice Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information (Observe/Evaluate) Students can critically read scientific literature, integrating, extracting, and accurately simplifying main ideas from multiple sources while maintaining accuracy and validating data whenever possible. Cross Cutting Concepts Energy and Matter Students explain the conservation of energy by discussing the transfer mechanisms between objects or fields as well as into or out of a system. Structure and Function Students apply patterns in structure and function to unfamiliar phenomena.
