Fourth in a series of 11 lessons covering the unit: “Conservation and Dissipation of Energy”

Lesson 4: Gravitational Potential Energy

• Clear learning objectives:
• Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is increased by lifting an object against the effects of gravity.
• We can use an equation to calculate gravitational potential energy.
• Work done on an object against gravity causes the object to store GPE.
• Use as a stand-alone lesson or part of a sequence
• Full set of lesson resources
• PowerPoint presentation with embedded videos
• A quick and engaging starter to display on the board
• Original MM Science videos to supplement content
• Modelled calculations
• Real-life examples
• Worksheet activity and answers incorporated into lesson resources
• Additional videos to reinforce understanding of learning objectives
• Mini whiteboard multichoice questions as a quick test of learning
• A True or False discussion to get at the heart of some common misconceptions

MM Science are Martin and Mike, two Science teachers with specialisms in Physics and Biology and having nearly 60 years of teaching experience in state comprehensive and grammar schools.
Our philosophy is to write inspiring resources, with original, sometimes humorous video material. At the core of our purpose is to provide accurate science clearly explained. Our True and False discussions are designed to address misconceptions held by students and adults alike.
