Springs and Slinkies
Students will understand how
potential energy
is stored and converted by observing a slinky and a spring in action. Introduction Mechanical
potential energy
is energy stored in objects by tension ...

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 ...
