Energy Lab-Quest
• I have put together an online lab-quest for you. Originally I
made this with small lab groups in mind, but it is very easily
done by individuals, as well. (The only difference is the level
of discussion, for the most part).
• On the following slides I will lead you through the
assignment. This assignment should not take you more than
the amount of time it would take to finish a class (for us,
about 2.5 hours). However, since it is being given as an
online assignment you may use as much time as you need
(until Tuesday’s class, at which point you should turn this in
for a grade).

Energy Lab-Quest (Intro.)
• Print out (or organize a blank sheet for the responses) the
following document:
• http://mrlafazia.com/labs/quests/EnergyTransformations/EnergyTransformations.doc
• For the text-files, I have written out mini-lessons (as if I were
giving you a small “lecture”). You will then answer the
“subquests” for each text-file.
• For the video files, I have written questions on the “Energy
Transformations” document, itself (as opposed to just leaving
blank spaces).
• FIRST: Read Sections 5.7 – 5.12 in the text. (And yes, I am
aware that textbooks can be confusing—you may supplement
with online resources).

HMWK #0
• Since this online lesson already consists of a reading
assignment and a lab-quest, I will not be assigning any
separate homework.
10/13
Recommended Reading:
Sections 5.7 – 5.12
(It just so happens that this is also REQUIRED reading for this
lesson’s activity…)
11/13
Poem:
None today (I prefer to do these IN PERSON…for the applause
of course).

Looking Ahead:
• It is my expectation that we will be able to have class face-to-face this
upcoming Tuesday (8/31). In that event, we will be spending the majority of
class doing labs on the Scientific Method (and looking at your HMWK #1
assignment). Then, on that Thursday, we will continue looking at Energy
concepts.
