Fields & Stored Potential Energy Phenomena-Based Lesson: How a Bent Bow and a Stretched Spring Store Energy Presentation | Middle School Physical Science | Grades 6–8

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Middle School Physical Science (grades 6–8) chapter Fields & Stored Potential Energy, built around the phenomenon How a Bent Bow and a Stretched Spring Store Energy. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

• What's inside: Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 22 slides).
• Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for Middle School Physical Science, grades 6–8.

Sample question“When the string is let go, the bow snaps straight and the arrow flies at about 60 to 100 meters per second. Where was the energy stored before the release, and how did it get there?”
