Explore kinetic and potential energy and how energy is conserved in this interactive tutorial.

Describe the difference between energy in motion and at rest, and demonstrate energy's capacity for doing work. Draw a picture of water moving a turbine, and discuss other ways that a turbine might be made to move.

With an introduction to the ideas of energy, students discuss specific types of energy and the practical sources of energy. Hands-on activities help them identify types of energy in their surroundings and enhance their understanding of...

Outlines the seven main principles of energy.

An explanation of types of energy, how living things use energy and how they can convert energy forms. This is a good, basic, start to studying this characteristic of life.

This activity will provide learners with a qualitative understanding of the Work-Energy Theorem, especially on how the energy transferred depends on the distance over which the force is applied.

Kids learn about potential energy in the science of physics. The energy of position and state can be calculated using mass, gravity, and height. The standard unit is the joule. How it is different from kinetic energy.

Demonstrates how principles of kinetic energy, potential energy and energy conservation can be used to determine the speed of a descending object if given its initial height. Further discussion of other topics such as heat and...

Hang various mass weights on spring scales while you adjust the spring stiffness and damping in this online activity. Slow down the action, take it to another planet, or watch the amount of potential, thermal, and kinetic energy.

Students define potential and kinetic energy, explore energy transfer and energy conservation, and connect energy to atomic structure. The following activities guide students to a conclusion: Activity 1. Can my finger start a fire?...

The energy in the universe never increases or decreases- but it does move around a lot. Energy can be potential or kinetic. George Zaidan and Charles Morton get excited about energy. [3:52]

In this lab, students will investigate the law of conservation of energy. The lab is designed as something of an open, hands-on assessment where students demonstrate how to maximize the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.

This activity demonstrates how potential energy (PE) can be converted to kinetic energy (KE) and back again. Given a pendulum height, students calculate and predict how fast the pendulum will swing by understanding conservation of energy...

Learn about mechanical energy, and its forms of potential and kinetic.

Learn about various states of energy, and how those states affect living organisms.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Decribes how energy changes from one form to another and energy changes between kinetic and potential energy.

Students explore the physics utilized by engineers in designing today's roller coasters, including potential and kinetic energy, friction, and gravity. First, students learn that all true roller coasters are completely driven by the...

In this hands-on activity students learn create a device to protect a dropped egg and deliver it close to a target. Students learn about engineering as well as potential and kinetic energy and energy transfer

[Free Registration/Login Required] A module to help students understand that as a boy jumps on a trampoline energy is transferred from potential to kinetic energy.

Energy can be described as being in different "stores". It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways. There are seven main stores of energy: magnetic, internal (thermal), chemical,...

Meet Carlos at his Mexican diner, and he will tell all about energy and energy transformations.

This activity is based on the common experiment of running a marble down a ramp to do work on a cup. Learners will be able to see the relationship between mass and energy of the marble and the ramp height.

Explains what kinetic and potential energy are and how they differ.
