Explore the difference between potential and kinetic energy with fun examples to help kids understand these concepts better.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. It is the opposite of stored, or potential, energy. Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects or changed into potential energy. There are several simple experiments that can be done to show children the effects of kinetic energy and how it is transferred between objects.

Yes, today we reviewed potential and kinetic energy with roller coasters! My kids were so excited to draw roller coasters!

Kids will love launching rubber bands in this fun potential energy science experiment! Does more stretch affect the distance traveled?
