Happy Friday Scientists!DQ:

Which of the following has the most potential energy?A. a car at the top of a hillB. a car speeding down the hillC. a person at the top of a hill

EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER!!

Today:• Discuss Skateboard Simulation• Reading: Forms of Energy–You may have to finish this as homework!!

• Increasing the mass = ?– Increases the total energy

• Friction = – A force that opposes motion – results from

surfaces moving against each other• With friction –– All the potential energy eventually gets changed

into thermal energy (heat)

Reading: Forms of EnergyGoal: create a mind-map showing the different

types of kinetic and potential energy• Read the handout about forms of kinetic and

potential energyIn each section:

–Highlight in yellow: information about the definition of that type of energy–Highlight in pink: examples of that type of

energy

Reading Notes

• For each type of kinetic energy– Write a sentence that includes a definition AND

explains what is moving.• For each type of potential energy– Write a sentence that includes a definition AND

where or how this type of energy is stored
