Science+Assignment



We are going to use a Wiki to help each other to answer questions. A Wiki is a webpage that anyone can edit and change the information on it. Someone will begin and will start answering the question. If you do not agree with them or want to change it, you just edit the page and answer the question. Please ONLY change their response and nothing else on this page!

Objective: Students will explain that changes in the ways objects move are caused by forces in order to observe and describe the way an object‘s motion changes in a variety of situations and identify what may have caused the change.

To begin this assignment, you are going to read page 333-337 in your science book. After reading this, you will watch the video and then answer the question. Whoever begins will answer the question first and then people will change or add to the first person's response. If you do not agree with them or think that it is wrong, change it! We want to have the right answers on our wiki! media type="custom" key="3895865"

** Question to answer: **

What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy? The video said that energy that is in motion is kinetic and energy that is waiting is potential.

What have you observed about moving objects?
