Water creates a lot of energy, just look at the Grand Canyon. In this science fair project, you will demonstrate the power of water by converting the kinetic energy in moving water to mechanical energy, which will lift a small weight.

In this science fair project, use the "frightened grasshopper" solar-powered toy to explore how solar energy is converted into kinetic energy. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract,...

Learners will design, build, and race balloon-powered cars in this fun lesson that teaches about engineering design and kinetic and potential energy.

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard 4-PS3-1: motion energy.

After learning about transfer of energy, specifically the loss of kinetic energy to friction, students get a chance to test friction. In groups they are given a wooden block, different fabrics, and weights and asked to design the "best"...

Explains what kinetic and potential energy are and how they differ.

Explains what each of these types of energy is and provides examples.

Science experiment that demonstrates how energy is transferred. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of how the tension in the catapult causes an object to travel far.

After creating three different ramps with various heights, students will release toy cars from the tops of each ramp. Based on the elementary age level, students will collect data and analyze it.

Provides a long list of physics formulas for easy reference.

Experiment shows students how to use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state. Teacher's notes provide background information.
