    1) The document describes an activity where students build a toy that uses a twisted rubber band to roll a bead or washer across the floor. 2) Students are instructed to twist a rubber band attached between a container and stick to store potential energy, then observe as the toy rolls and the stored energy is transformed into kinetic energy. 3) Questions at the end ask students to identify the potential energy stored in the twisted rubber band and how it transforms into the kinetic energy of motion as the toy rolls.

    Activity 2

    Rolling toy

    Objective:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to explain how a twisted rubber band can do
    work and relate the work done to potential energy.

    Materials Needed:
    1 clear plastic container with cover
    1 rubber band
    1 pc 3-cm round barbecue sticks
    1 pc barbecue stick with sharp part cut
    masking tape

    Procedure:
    1. Make a hole at the center of the cover and at the bottom of the plastic
    container.

    2. Insert the rubber band into the hole at the bottom of the container. Insert in between the
    rubber band the 3-cm barbecue stick. Tape the barbecue stick to keep it in place.

    3. Insert the other end of the rubber band into the hole in the cover. Insert a bead or a washer to
    the rubber band before inserting the long barbecue stick.

    4. You just made a toy. Twist the rubber band by rotating the long barbecue stick.
    5. Lay the toy on the floor. Observe it.

    Q1. What happens to the toy?


    Q2. What kind of energy is ‘stored’ in the rubber band?
    Q3. What kind of energy does a rolling toy have?
    Q4. What transformation of energy happens in a rolling toy?
