Students identify and define potential and kinetic energy, as well as discuss the meanings of each and talk about various examples for each. Then they go outside or to the gym to put their new knowledge into action. Students discuss the forms of bumping and serving a volleyball and then, demonstrate both forms of energy through holding the ball (potential energy) and serving and bumping the ball (kinetic energy).

Students identify the relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity. Then they explain and graph the relationship between kinetic energy and mass. Students also predict the impact of objects of different mass and velocity on a standing object. Finally, they compare their graph to the graph drawn of a directly proportional relationship.
