After Sam knocks a glass off the lunchroom table, he uses it as a springboard for explaining kinetic and potential energy. He mentions that sound is a type of kinetic energy and introduces the different forms of energy: thermal, chemical, radiant, electrical, and mechanical. Even energy transfer is mentioned. Use this in class as a review or introduction to your energy unit.
