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.

Student Application

Learn about the many different types of energy and how energy can change form.


Learning Objectives

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 ...
