What is Potential Energy?

• A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole

• Energy....that has potential?

• Energy that is stored in an object or system

• Energy of movement

What is Kinetic Energy?

• The energy of movement

• Energy from electricity

• Energy stored in a system

• Energy you get from being around your family (your kin)

What is a system?

• A very long answer

• Many parts that work together to make a whole thing

• A type of energy

• A Play Station, X-box, or Switch

A spinning fan...

• has stored energy so that something can move or change in the future (Potential energy)

• is moving or changing now (Kinetic energy)

• does not have the ability to move or change by itself now or in the future (no energy in the system)
