This a pull back car. We played with it to observe the energy transfers. Motion energy changed to elastic energy, which changed to motion energy and sound energy.
This week in class:
For science we are learning about energy in action and stored energy, and energy transfers. The forms of energy that we learned about were: electrical, sound, heat, light, motion, elastic, chemical and gravitational energy. If we sorted them into categories then elastic, chemical and gravitational energy would be in stored energy, and electrical, motion, sound, light and heat would be energies in action. The definition of energy is things that are happening now, and the definition of stored energy is things that are not doing anything but waiting to be done/used.
