Dive into the exciting world of energy with two fun experiments that explore potential and kinetic energy! Energy is the ability to do work and you’ll investigate how potential energy is stored in an object due to its position, while kinetic energy comes from motion. In the first experiment, you'll stretch a rubber band over a ruler to see how far it travels when released, demonstrating potential energy. In the second experiment, you’ll blow up a balloon and release it to witness the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as it zooms around the room. Want to try these experiments at home or in the classroom? Watch the video from Rosie Riveters for an overview, gather your materials, and follow the step-by-step instructions provided.
