This is a Jurassic Park themed lesson aimed at KS3 pupils.
Pupils begin by thinking about the types of energy that enter and leave an object, they complete a worksheet for this.
Pupils then are reminded about kinetic and potential energy, with examples.
Leading on from this, pupils then complete a description of energy transfer on a rollercoaster, and describe the energy types and particular points.
Useful and wasted energy is explained to the pupils, with a simplified diagram.
Pupils then create similar diagrams for different things seen at a theme park.
Finally pupils are then given one Olympic scenario each and have to draw an energy transfer diagram as an exit ticket.
There is a homework where pupils use the Jurassic World website to create energy transfer diagrams of activities in different sections. There is also an online homework used as an extension of the rollercoaster task (https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park-basics).
