Potential... KINETIC!

During our unit on Forms of Energy, we learned about the difference between potential and kinetic energy.

Potential energy: stored energy
Kinetic energy: energy due to motion

First, we took some notes on potential and kinetic energy.

Next, we went out into the hallway and played "Potential, Kinetic". You might know it as, "Red Light, Green Light". :)

 

My students love anything that gets them up and moving! This was a great demonstration for the students of the difference between potential and kinetic energy. Hopefully these videos uploaded correctly. Enjoy!
