The ability to make an object move or change direction
Energy
100
Energy that is STORED in the position or condition of an object
Potential Energy
100
The energy of MOTION
Kinetic Energy
200
Using a force to move an object
Work
200
The energy that an object gains when work is done on it. (Potential and kinetic energy are two forms of this).
Mechanical Energy
200
The movement of energy from one object to another or the change of energy from one form to another
Energy Transfer
300
the idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed
Conservation of Energy
300
What idea is this showing?
Energy Transfer!

How do you know if something has energy?
Everything has energy! An object is either in motion (Kinetic energy) or it is storing energy (Potential energy).

How is a roller coaster a good example of Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy?
At the top of the roller coaster, the car has stored potential energy. As it goes down the ramp, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy. When it reaches the bottom of the ramp, it has no potential energy and all kinetic energy.
400
Give two examples of Potential Energy
A ball sitting on a table, A rock on the edge of a cliff, a spring being pushed down, a rubber band being stretched
400
Give two examples of Kinetic Energy
A ball rolling off a table, a rock sliding down a hill, a rubber band snapping, a spring being released, a car moving

How does a football helmet relate to Kinetic Energy?
The designers of the helmet have to determine how much kinetic energy is going to be transfer to the helmet when a player gets hit. They have to ensure they put enough padding into the helmet to absorb the energy and protect the player's head.
500
What happens when objects collide?
Energy is transferred from one object to another object.
