Introduction
We will begin the lesson by talking to the class about energy.
Questions:
- What is energy?
- Where does energy come from?
- How many kinds of energy are there?
- What are the different kinds of energy?
Task
Objective:
Students will be able to differentiate between potential and kinetic energy. Students will be able to describe what causes potential energy to change into kinetic energy and vice versa.
Process
- I will explain that energy is the ability to do work, and that energy comes from all sorts of sources, such as the sun, wind, and the muscles inside our bodies.
- "Today we will be learning about two kinds of energy: potential and kinetic."
-

- Kinetic energy- moving energy. Example: walking,swimming.
Evaluation
- I will explain to the class that when we are sitting or standing, we are using potential energy. Once we start walking, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy.
