What You'll Learn
You will learn that energy is the ability to cause change.
You will discover potential energy is stored in position or shape.
You will find kinetic energy belongs to every moving object.
You will see how energy converts between potential and kinetic forms.
What You'll Practice
1
You will identify potential and kinetic energy in everyday objects.
2
You will explain how height and mass affect stored energy amounts.
3
You will describe energy conversions using roller coasters and pendulums.
Why This Matters
Understanding potential and kinetic energy helps you explain why objects move, stop, and change connecting science to everything you see and do every day.
