Foundation Physics - Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp

Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183.

  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum. The Universal Stand is required for each add-on.

When used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand, this Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp can be used to investigate conservation of energy in relation to a marble rolling up or down a track.  A photogate system (not included) could be used to measure the time, velocity and speed of the marble.

The Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp includes:

  • 1 x Energy Ramp
  • 1 x Mounting Bolt
  • 1 x Steel Ball (19.11mm)
  • 1 x Plastic Ball (19.11mm)
  • Instructions
  • Teachers Guide
  • Student Guide

Additional apparatus required:

  • Foundation Physics Universal Stand
  • Metre Ruler
  • Photogate System
  • Meter Ruler
  • Combine with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand (available separately) to teach around and demonstrate Motion and Forces.
  • Suitable for staff and student use.
  • The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time).  Forces being needed to cause objects to stop or start moving, or to change their speed or direction of motion (qualitative only)
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Explain the vector-scalar distinction as it applies to displacement, velocity and speed.  Explain that motion in a circle involves constant speed but changing velocity (qualitative only). Make and interpret measurements of distances, times, speeds and accelerations,and represent these in graphical form.

Activities could include:

  • Introduction to the Conservation of Energy
  • Conservation of translational energy
  • Introduction to energy lost due to friction
  • Energy lost due to friction
  • Conservation of Mechanical Energy
  • Conservation of translational and rotational energy.
