A great way to have students have fun in the energy unit is to have an active lab in which they learn the difference between power and work kinesthetically through pedaling a road bike. When you ride a bike, you do work to overcome the forces of air resistance, gravity, and rolling resistance. Power is the rate at which you work, so the more power you can put out, the faster you’ll go. Students will create power by pedaling, which will be analyzed by a crank power meter and expressed on a cycling computer. I will bring in two road bikes on trainers from home. One bike is already is set up with a power meter and cycling computer to read the power output.
