Potential, Kinetic, Acceleration Lab

Essential Questions to be answered:
1. Where do you have the most potential energy on the field?
2. Where do you have the least?
3. How can you accelerate your energy?
4. What type of energy is used when you are moving?
(Answer these questions somewhere in your movie!)
Using the iPad and working together cooperatively, create a short movie
showing potential energy, kinetic energy, and acceleration on the field.
Your movie should show that you know these terms and can show where
they are when you are running outside during recess.

Day 2: Practice your movie using the hill. Make sure you include why the actors are
doing what they are doing to describe what is happening and what vocab words are
