Kinetic and Potential Energy Crockett* 6th/7th grade Define Energy Conservation of energy- energy cannot be created or destroyed; hence this energy cannot disappear Because of this, we store energy as “potential energy” Potential Energy It is the energy that is stored in the object has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy Think of a roller coaster. When the coaster climbs a hill it has potential energy. At the very top of the hill is its maximum potential energy. Kinetic Energy When the car speeds down the hill, potential energy turns into kinetic. Kinetic energy is greatest at the bottom. This is energy in motion. Potential Energy Potential Energy is converted in Kinetic Energy View Kinetic and Potential Energy Roller Coaster Kinetic and Potential Scenarios You and your table partner will need to label each of the pictures Either: kinetic or potential (HINT: Keep in mind that) POTENTIAL is NOT MOVING and KINETIC is MOVING Marble Falls Where is the potential and kinetic energy located in this waterfall system? What would have to happen to the waterfall to increase its potential and kinetic energy? Marble Falls Lab Follow the instructions on the handout to complete the lab. We will eliminate using 6 textbooks, therefore, you will only need 4. Materials: marble 4 textbooks grooved ruler Lab handout pencil DE Streaming Make it a great day Mustangs!
