Question

which student is using innovative problem-solving to investigate potential energy and kinetic energy? (1 point)

lisa thinks about ways that potential energy and kinetic energy occur in her own life, chooses one, and designs a demonstration to show the relationship between the two kinds of energy.

pedro researches potential and kinetic energy at the library and writes a report on the relationship between them.

william searches the internet for experiments involving potential and kinetic energy, chooses one, and carries it out.

meghan replicates a demonstration of potential energy and kinetic energy she found in her science textbook.

Explanation:

To determine who uses innovative problem - solving, we analyze each option:

• Lisa: She connects energy concepts to her life and designs a demonstration. This involves creativity (choosing a real - life example) and designing a unique way to show the energy relationship, which is innovative.
• Pedro: He just does library research and writes a report. This is more of a traditional research approach without innovation.
• William: He follows an existing experiment from the internet. There's no new design or creative approach.
• Meghan: She replicates a textbook demonstration, which is a routine task without innovation.

Answer:

A. Lisa thinks about ways that potential energy and kinetic energy occur in her own life, chooses one, and designs a demonstration to show the relationship between the two kinds of energy.
