Energy Conservation Design Lab Idea

In summary, the conversation revolves around developing a testable question for a design lab that examines the relationship between two variables governed by the law of conservation of energy. The question must involve the transfer of energy and double within 1 hour and 15 minutes. The use of a ball thrown vertically outside was suggested, but there are concerns about measuring the distance accurately. The use of a software that requires filming the ball was also mentioned, but it is unreliable and confusing to use. The speaker is seeking ideas for a simpler approach using materials found in a standard physics classroom.

Hello!
Im working on a design lab but need a little help on making it simple enough to use materials you would find in a standard physics classroom.

Purpose: To develop a testable question that examines the relationship between 2 variables governed by the law of conversation of Energy.

It has to double within 1HR and 15Minutes

Must also involve the transfer of energy from one type to a different type.

I was thinking about using a ball outside thrown directly vertical except that could get tricky to measure the distance. Was advised to use this software which requires you to film the ball. Tho its completely unreliable and quite confusing for me to use.

any idea's?

thanks in advance!

FAQ: Energy Conservation Design Lab Idea

What is an energy conservation design lab?

An energy conservation design lab is a laboratory or research facility that focuses on developing and testing new ideas and technologies for reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability.

Why is energy conservation important?

Energy conservation is important because it helps to reduce our dependence on non-renewable resources, decreases carbon emissions and helps to mitigate the effects of climate change. It also helps to save money and resources in the long run.

What are some examples of energy conservation design lab ideas?

Some examples of energy conservation design lab ideas include developing more efficient and sustainable building materials, creating new renewable energy technologies, and implementing smart grid systems for efficient energy distribution.

How do scientists and engineers test energy conservation designs?

Scientists and engineers test energy conservation designs by conducting experiments and simulations, analyzing data, and building prototypes for real-world testing. They also use advanced technologies such as computer-aided design and modeling to optimize and improve their designs.

How can I get involved in energy conservation design labs?

There are many ways to get involved in energy conservation design labs, such as pursuing a career in this field, volunteering or interning at a lab, or participating in energy conservation projects and initiatives in your community. You can also stay informed about the latest developments and research in energy conservation by attending conferences and workshops.
