In this lesson, learners are introduced to both potential energy and kinetic energy as forms of mechanical energy. A hands-on activity demonstrates how potential energy can change into kinetic energy by swinging a pendulum, illustrating...

In the following tutorial, students will learn about the law of conservation of energy. They will read about some of the many forms of energy. They will understand the definition of efficiency of an energy conversion process as the...

Learn about mechanical energy, and its forms of potential and kinetic.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the different forms of energy and investigate how the law of conservation of energy plays an important part of those forms.

You might think that plants and animals have little in common with batteries, springs, or slingshots, but they actually do have something in common. Both living and non-living things store and transfer energy from one form to another. In...
