Energy – the ability to make things move

The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be made.
Energy cannot be destroyed.
Energy is transferred from one form to another
Potential Kinetic

3. 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.

4. (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

5. (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
Most potential
at the top b/c
it’s the highest
point
Most kinetic
at the bottom
b/c it’s moving
the fastest
Geologic Faults
Objects at rest
Pendulum swing

6. 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.

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

Geologic Faults – where 2 lithospheric plates meet
Potential energy builds
as the plates push against each other
Kinetic energy is released
as the plates slide past each other
Objects at rest
Pendulum swing

More Potential-
The higher the

The more the mass the higher the potential energy
More mass,
more kinetic,

11. Potential and Kinetic Energy Concept Map
Included Words: Energy, Potential, Kinetic, Mass, Speed, Height
Included Definitions: Energy, Potential, Kinetic
Included Illustrations: for Kinetic and Potential
Included examples: 3 for Potential and 3 for Kinetic
All bubbles need to be connected in the appropriate manner, they work in partners and put in lab notebook and partners must make a big poster size copy of their concept map to present their understanding of the words.
5pts for each word, definition, example, illustration, connection, and presentation, and names on poster to be turned in.
