Happy Friday Scientists! DQ: Which of the following has the most potential energy? A. a car at the top of a hill B. a car speeding down the hill C. a person at the top of a hill EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER!!

Today : Discuss Skateboard Simulation Reading: Forms of Energy – You may have to finish this as homework!!

Increasing the mass = ? – Increases the total energy Friction = – A force that opposes motion – results from surfaces moving against each other With friction – – All the potential energy eventually gets changed into thermal energy (heat)

Reading: Forms of Energy Goal: create a mind-map showing the different types of kinetic and potential energy Read the handout about forms of kinetic and potential energy In each section: – Highlight in yellow: information about the definition of that type of energy – Highlight in pink: examples of that type of energy

Reading Notes For each type of kinetic energy – Write a sentence that includes a definition AND explains what is moving. For each type of potential energy – Write a sentence that includes a definition AND where or how this type of energy is stored
