Climb Your Way To The Top

In this activity, you will find out if a person does more work walking up a flight of stairs or running up the same flight of stairs by having you or someone else actually do this. You will also learn what scientists mean by the words work and power. Students will take measurements, collect data and calculate work and power to determine the similarities and differences between the two concepts, as well as the factors that contribute to work and power.
