This document discusses mechanical energy and its two types: kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy produces movement in objects like bikes being ridden or balls being thrown, while potential energy allows for changing an object's direction of travel, like lifting something up. The document encourages students to think of their own examples of kinetic and potential energy and provides a video and song for learning about these concepts through different mediums.

9. We use mechanical energy to
produce movement when we ride a
bike, for example.

10. We also use mechanical energy to
change the direction that an object is
travelling in.

14. To understand it better, watch the video.

15. Now it is your turn to think of examples of kinetic
and potential energy. Write them down.
And for those of you who are musical learners,
here you have a song.
