1. On your vocab sheets, relate work to potential and kinetic energy
On your vocab sheets, relate work to potential and kinetic energy minutes

2. What is Energy? Let’s find out.

3. What is Energy?
The ability to do work or cause change.

4. What are the different forms of Energy?

5. What are the different forms of Energy?
Energy has a number of different forms, all of which measure the ability of an object to do work on or change another object.
In other words, there are different ways that an object can possess energy.

6. What are the different forms of Energy?
Mechanical Energy
Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
Thermal, or heat energy
Chemical Energy
Electrical Energy
Electromagnetic Energy (light)
Sound Energy
Nuclear Energy

7. Energy can be divided into two general categories:
Potential
Kinetic

8. Potential Energy

9. Definition of Potential Energy
Potential energy is energy due to position or stored energy. Potential energy is also called gravitational potential energy.

10. Potential Energy Stored energy Energy of position
The amount of usable energy in a body at rest Sometimes called GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
Can be calculated mathematically
PE = weight X height

11. Give an example of potential energy

12. Give an example of potential energy
By stretching a rubber band, you give it potential energy. A vase on a shelf has stored potential energy. A football being held by a quarterback has potential energy until it is thrown and it turns into kinetic energy.

13. Potential energy can be increased by:
Increasing height
Increasing mass

14. Kinetic Energy

15. Definition of Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is measured by how much work is done to put an object in motion or to rest.

16. Kinetic Energy Energy of motion
Energy an object has because it is moving
Can be calculated mathematically
KE = (mass x velocity²)÷2 or ½ mv²

17. Give an example of kinetic energy

18. Give an example of kinetic energy
A basketball player has kinetic energy. The movements that she does show the energy that is being displayed while she is moving. When you are running, walking, or jumping, your body is exhibiting kinetic energy.

19. Kinetic Energy can be increased by:
Increasing mass
Increasing velocity

20. Give an example of something that has both potential and kinetic energy.

21. Give an example of something that has both potential and kinetic energy.
A waterfall has both kinetic and potential energy. The water at the top of the waterfall has stored potential energy. Once the water leaves the top of the waterfall, the potential energy is changed into kinetic energy.

23. Conservation of Energy

24. Law of the Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form of energy to another form. 
The amount of energy stays the same.
