Springs and Slinkies
... (like a stretched rubber band) or compression (when you squeeze a spring). When the potential energy is released, it is converted to the energy of motion, also known as
kinetic energy
. This is the energy ...

Energy Transfer Through Balls
... to rocket much higher into the air. Objectives Students will be able to: Observe the transfer of
kinetic energy
from one ball to another Entire Activity These resources are free! You ...

Springy Tag
The concept that potential energy can be converted to
kinetic energy
is reinforced in this fun and high-energy game. Introduction This game is an adaptation of "Dead Ant" as explained on www.ultimatecampresource.com ...
11.
Toy Cars
Students will play with cars to discover how potential and
kinetic energy
make them move. Introduction Toy cars use a variety of mechanisms to make them go, but they all store up potential energy. ...
12.
Elastic Powered Car
Students will make a car powered by an elastic engine. Introduction Rather than converting chemical energy to
kinetic energy
like your family car, this car (adapted from http://pbskids.org/designsquad/projects/rubber_band_car.html) ...

Cotton Ball Catapult
Students apply their knowledge of force, mass, and acceleration through a building challenge. Introduction The transfer of energy from potential energy to
kinetic energy
is easy to understand (and ...

Popcan Porsche
Build a compound machine out of a popcan that converts potential energy to
kinetic energy
. As the can rolls, the potential energy that is stored in the wound rubber band is transformed into motion ...
