Exercises Activities

1. Exploration.

Visit this simulation ¹. Play around with it for at least a few minutes.

Describe two observations you were able to make using the simulation, especially if you observed anything that you consider unexpected or surprising. Specifically describe why they were interesting to you.

2. Representation: Energy Bar Chart.

Explain what information the bar graph representation (from the simulation) displays and how it displays this information.

Answer.

Representation 4.12.1. Energy Bar Chart.

An energy bar chart is a graphical representation where each form of energy in a system is represented by a vertical bar. It is often common to draw a different bar chart for each instant of interest.
