The Coolest Thing!

Kinetic Energy- The energy of motion
Potential Energy- The energy of position

So today we were talking about Physics in Science class and the diffrence between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. To explain the diffrence we used slinkies! Well the slinkies that we used weren't glow in the dark, but it was still cool. We had to figure out the highest point of Potential energy, so we made a tower of boxes! Then we dropped the slinky down from the tower of boxes and it moved all by itself until it hit the floor.

I thought that it was an interesting way to learn about Kinetic and Potential Energy!
