Kinetic and Potential Energy PDF
The student will:

• identify the two states of energy.
  
• demonstrate kinetic and potential energy.
  
• test for the effect of varying mass and height (the distance through which gravity acts) on kinetic and potential energy.

Conservation of Energy PDF
The student will:

• recognize the total energy in a system is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
  
• design a roller coaster and predict the pathway of objects traveling along the roller coaster.
  
• calculate how much energy is converted to heat by friction in a system.
