More Examples of Motion, Forces, and Energy

Motion
1. Walking: When you walk from one side of the room to the other, you are in motion.
2. Running: A runner in a race moves quickly along the track, changing position rapidly.
3. Flying: An airplane takes off from the ground and moves through the air,
demonstrating motion in three dimensions.
4. Falling: When you drop an apple from a tree, it falls to the ground, showing motion
due to gravity.
Forces
1. Gravity: The force that pulls objects toward each other. For example, when you
jump, gravity pulls you back down to the ground.
2. Friction: The force that opposes motion. When you slide a book across a table,
friction slows it down.
3. Magnetic Force: If you bring two magnets close together, they either attract or repel
each other. This is a force acting between them.
4. Applied Force: When you push a shopping cart at the grocery store, you are applying
a force that makes it move.
Energy
Kinetic Energy
1. Rolling Ball: A basketball rolling down a slope has kinetic energy because it is
moving.
2. Swinging: A child on a swing has kinetic energy as they move back and forth.
3. Moving Car: A car driving on the highway has kinetic energy due to its speed.
4. Running Dog: A dog running in the park has kinetic energy as it chases a ball.
Potential Energy
1. Stretched Rubber Band: A rubber band that is stretched has potential energy. When
you release it, that energy turns into kinetic energy as it snaps back.
2. Water Behind a Dam: Water stored in a dam has potential energy because it can
flow down and generate electricity when released.
3. Books on a Shelf: Books placed on a high shelf have potential energy due to their
height. If they fall, that energy will convert to kinetic energy.
4. Pendulum at the Top: At the highest point of its swing, a pendulum has maximum
potential energy, which turns into kinetic energy as it swings down.
Encourage students to observe their surroundings for more examples of motion, forces, and
energy in action. This real-life connection can help solidify their understanding of these
concepts!
