Physics — Algebra and Trigonometry
Suggested grades 11–12 · Unit 2: Energy and Waves
Construct a paper calculation model that includes transfers outside the chosen mechanical-energy account.
▷ 2 teacher video choices: Account for Energy With a Repeatable AlgorithmPreview lesson: Account for Energy With a Repeatable Algorithm
Goal: Calculate an energy budget and write a repeatable sequence for predicting kinetic energy and speed.
Before this: Use squares, square roots and gravitational energy mgh.
Try together: Together run the algorithm for the same object and height with 80 J transferred from the mechanical account.

Suggested grades 11–12 · Unit 2: Energy and Waves
Use wave relationships while avoiding the claim that a source’s frequency must change whenever the medium changes.
▷ 2 teacher video choices: Read Frequency, Wavelength and Speed TogetherPreview lesson: Read Frequency, Wavelength and Speed Together
Goal: Calculate wavelength and predict how one changed condition affects a wave model.
Before this: Rearrange v=fλ and read units.
Try together: Together calculate the frequency of a model wave with speed 12 m/s and wavelength 0.5 m.
