3. Energy is defined as
the ability to do
work. You are able
to do things because
of energy. You can
jump, ride a bike,
and play because of

4. What are the two
main forms of
energy?

5. There are two main forms
of energy— potential
and kinetic energy.
Potential energy is
stored energy while
kinetic energy is
moving energy.

6. A stationary bike on
top of the hill has
stored energy called
potential energy.

7. When the bike starts
moving downhill, its
potential energy is
transformed into kinetic
energy.

8. If an object is stationary, it
has stored energy called
potential energy. You can think
of this type of energy as the
"potential" of the object to do
work.

9. a stretched
bow
a golf ball sitting
on a tee
a hockey puck
sitting on the
ice

10. What are other
examples of
objects that have
potential energy?

11. If an object is moving, it has
kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is
the energy that an object
possesses due to its motion. If
the object moves faster, it has
more kinetic energy.

12. a basketball
thrown in the
air
a bicycle
in motion
a moving volleyball
during a game

13. What are other
examples of
objects that have
kinetic energy?
