www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids What is ENERGY? Energy is the ability to do work. Everything that happens in the world uses energy! Most of the time we can’t see energy, but it is everywhere around us! www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids Energy… is NEVER created or destroyed! can only be STORED or TRANFERRED. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

This car uses a lot of energy Batteries store energy! We get our energy from FOOD! Even this sleeping puppy is using stored energy. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids Remember: ALL matter is made up of particles. The particles NEVER stop moving. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

How is all energy divided? Potential Energy Kinetic Energy www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids Potential Energy is… The energy stored in an object. "Potential" simply means the energy has the ability to do something useful later on. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

How is all energy divided? Potential Energy Gravitation Elastic Chemical Kinetic Energy www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

What is Gravitational Potential Energy? Potential energy due to an object’s position P.E. = mass x height x gravity Don’t look down, Rover! Good boy! www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

What is Elastic Potential Energy? Potential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

What is Chemical Potential Energy? Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids Kinetic Energy Is… The energy of a moving object. "Kinetic" means movement! When stored energy is being used up, it is making things move or happen. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids
