PhET: Energy Skate Park
An interactive simulation from PhET that allows students to explore conservation of energy, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, thermal energy, friction, and energy transformation through a virtual skate park environment. Students manipulate mass, gravity, track shape, and friction to observe energy changes and analyze bar graphs and pie charts.
