Video: Getting To Know Energy
Energy is all around you. Learn about the many different types of energy and how energy can change form. Vivid examples illustrate how potential energy and kinetic energy are defined, and how one form of energy can change into another. Discover that energy never goes away, that it can only be transferred from one form into another.

Learning Objectives
- Students will understand energy and how it relates to work. Energy is the ability to cause changes in matter, or the ability to move matter. Work is done when a force, produced using energy, changes the motion of an object. Work has three requirements: a force is needed, an object is needed and the force must move the object. If one pushes on an obj...

Supporting Activities
- 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 ...
