What to expect… You will click through the following frames one at a time with your group. At the top of each frame, you will receive directions in green to follow. You will see a pencil icon next to what you need to write. You will have the entire class to complete this task.

Potential and Kinetic Energy On the next page of your journal, title it

Potential Energy Energy that is stored in an object. The greater the height, the greater the gravitational potential. Define potential energy in your journal.

Energy of motion. The greater the speed and mass of an object, the greater the kinetic energy. Kinetic Energy Define kinetic energy in your journal.

Examples of Potential and Kinetic Energy Draw a line under your definitions and title it

If you stretch a rubber band, you will give it potential energy.If you stretch a rubber band, you will give it potential energy. As the rubber band is released, potential energy is changed to kinetic energy. As the rubber band is released, potential energy is changed to kinetic energy. Rubber Band: Stretched : Potential Energy :: Released :_________ Read the information below. Write and complete the analogy that follows

The water at the top of the fall has stored potential energy. The water at the top of the fall has stored potential energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. Water Fall Kinetic EnergyFalling Water :: Potential Energy : ______ Kinetic Energy : Falling Water :: Potential Energy : ______ Read the information below. Write and complete the analogy that follows

Bow and Arrow Potential Energy is to _________ as Kinetic Energy is to _________ A bow and arrow has potential energy when the bow is pulled back. A bow and arrow has potential energy when the bow is pulled back. It has kinetic energy when the bow is released and the arrow is in motion. Read the information below. Write and complete the analogy that follows

Sketch the picture below (small). Star the letter with the greatest potential energy and circle the letter that illustrates the car with the greatest kinetic energy.

Check your work.

As the car moves up the hill it is gaining potential energy because it is getting further from the ground. As the car moves up the hill it is gaining potential energy because it is getting further from the ground. As the car flies down the hill, it is gaining kinetic energy because it is accelerating (increasing its speed). As the car flies down the hill, it is gaining kinetic energy because it is accelerating (increasing its speed). Write all of the information below under your rollercoaster picture.
