= FORCE & MOTION - POTENTIAL VS. KINETIC ENERGY =


 * 6.8 Force, motion, and energy. The student knows force and motion are related to potential and kinetic energy. The student is expected to: **
 * 6.8A compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy; **
 * 6.8B identify and describe the changes in position, direction, and speed of an object when acted upon by unbalanced forces; **
 * 6.8C calculate average speed using distance and time measurements; **
 * 6.8D measure and graph changes in motion; and **
 * 6.8E investigate  how inclined planes and pulleys can be used to change the amount of force to move an object. **

__** Vocabulary **__
ENERGY - The ability of a system to do work. Energy is required for changes to happen within a system.

POTENTIAL ENERGY - Energy that is stored in a system or object.

KINETIC ENERGY - Energy of motion.

SYSTEM - A group of interacting or interdependent elements forming a complex whole, as in all the factors or variables in an environment, or all the variables that might affect a science experiment.

TOTAL ENERGY - All energy—potential and kinetic— within a specific system.

JOULE - A unit used to measure energy.
