Kinetic energy is energy in motion. It is the opposite of stored, or potential, energy. Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects or changed into potential energy. There are several simple experiments that can be done to show children the effects of kinetic energy and how it is transferred between objects.

Kids will love launching rubber bands in this fun potential energy science experiment! Does more stretch affect the distance traveled?

How are potential and kinetic energy connected? To find out, you’ll need open space; a piece of chalk; and a measuring tape, and a rubber band and a ruler for each pair

13 STEM lessons and activities to teach about kinetic and potential energy.

Name:________________________________ Potential or Kinetic Energy? Directions: Read each example below and write P or K on the line. 1. An egg sitting on the kitchen counter, about to roll onto the floor. ____ 2. A baseball in the air, thrown from the catcher back to the pitcher. ____ 3. A roller coaster at the top of. Auto-graded practice and assessment of "PE or KE Exit Ticket" for in-class and distance learning.

Learning the different forms of energy and how they interact with one another and create outcomes in our world, is an important concept to cover in middle school science lessons. As with many other science topics, the energy of motion and transfer can be demonstrated in tons of fun and interactive ways.

So, you are thinking about doing a potential and kinetic energy worksheet, but you want a little something extra! I got you! Now...

This bright and colorful kid science experiment teaches the difference between potential and kinetic energy.

Yes, today we reviewed potential and kinetic energy with roller coasters! My kids were so excited to draw roller coasters!
