Teach Potential and Kinetic Energy! Energy is the ability to do work, which is the ability to exert a force causing displacement of an object, or simply, energy is the force that causes things to move. All energy can be classified as either: potential energy or kinetic energy.

Emphasis is on descriptive relationships between kinetic energy and mass separately from kinetic energy and speed. Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds, rolling different sizes of rocks downhill, and getting hit by a wiffle ball versus a tennis ball. MS-PS3-2 Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. Emphasis is on relative amounts of potential energy, not on calculations of potential energy. Examples of objects within systems interacting at varying distances could include: the Earth and either a roller coaster cart at varying positions on a hill or objects at varying heights on shelves, changing the direction/orientation of a magnet, and a balloon with static electrical charge being brought closer to a classmate’s hair. Examples of models could include representations, diagrams, pictures, and written descriptions of systems. Assessment is limited to two objects and electric, magnetic, and gravitational interactions. TEKS SCI.6.8.A Force, motion, and energy. The student knows force and motion are related to potential and kinetic energy. The student is expected to: compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy SCI.6.8.B Force, motion, and energy. The student knows force and motion are related to potential and kinetic energy. The student is expected to: identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces; #potentialenergy #kineticenergy #conservationofenergy #energytransfer #science #education #physicalscience #ngss
