Energy Flipbook Tri-fold a piece of computer paper Copy on top flap… Energy – the ability to make things move

Open left flap and copy on the right flap… The Law of Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be made. Energy cannot be destroyed. Energy is transferred from one form to another Potential Kinetic

The Law of Conservation of Energy Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. However, It can be transferred from one form to another. Thus, when the water at the top of the waterfall plunges over the edge, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

(the more mass, the more energy) Object (the more mass, the more energy) Potential – Stored energy due to position (the higher the object the more potential) Kinetic – energy of motion (the faster the speed, the more kinetic energy) Waterfall Geologic Faults Objects at rest Pendulum swing

Plate Tectonics The ground is broken into different plates (pieces) that float on lava. Where they meet are called geologic faults. The movement of these plates causes earthquakes, mountains, and island formation.

As plates push against each other potential energy builds. When these plates move or break the energy is released and transformed into kinetic energy.
