The PhET Skatepark Simulator can be used to visualise the Conservation of Energy. You can use Bar Graphs and Pie Charts to see how Energy is converted between kinetic energy and potential energy as the skater moves. You can also see, and experiment, how energy is transformed into other forms of energy such as thermal energy through friction and collisions.
