Power Production
by David Wirth
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of power they can produce. They will design their own experiment and measure the power that they produce. Lastly, students will complete a set of application problems to further master the concepts of work and power. This sequence could take 2-3 class periods.
