On Friday, 8th grade students from Mrs. Parrish's class at LaFayette Middle School visited our classroom. We were delighted to welcome Tori Hunter and Emily Purcell. These two students taught us about kinetic and potential energy. We were active participants! We bounced small rubber balls to experience kinetic energy. Students visited three stations for more hands-on learning. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So any object in motion is showing kinetic energy! Potential energy is energy that is stored, such as stopping a bouncing ball or a car at a stoplight. Students definitely enjoyed the presentation! Thank you ladies for a job well done!
