            Description
           | 
          This is a guided inquiry lab that is the fourth in a series that uses Energy Skate Park. 
Learning Goals: Students will be able to use Energy-Time graphs to use a given time to: Estimate a location for the Skater on a track; Calculate the speed or height of the Skater Friction and frictionless; Predict energy distribution for tracks with and without friction. |
