Supporting Activities

1. Outside Activity: In a large area, have students spread out, using their arms as spacers. Give each student a bouncing ball. Review with students that potential energy is energy of position and kinetic energy is energy of motion. Using the bouncing ball, have students demonstrate these two basic types of energy. If you let the ball bounce ...
