Overview

4th Grade Science
Energy
9. Forms of Energy
Energy Types, Potential and kinetic energy

Discover Potential and Kinetic Energy All Around You

You will explore how energy is stored and how it turns into motion, using real-world examples like rolling balls, roller coasters, and stretched springs.


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.
