Potential energy

if you don’t mind and sing with me

is stored up energy

examples are just endlessly

coming to my mind

[verse]

potential energy is like

waiting to do something,

holding a ball,

just before you let it fall

or stretched out rubber bands

pulled between both of your hands

you’re sitting at the top of a slide

or behind a corner waiting to surprise!

and a stretched-out slinky

holding a cup before you drinky

A bow and arrow before it’s shot

boy, these examples are quite a lot!

kinetic energy

is the energy of movement,

like a ball

rolling down a hill.

pouring water, your bucket to fill

running outside when you play

your mouth still moving when you say

chewing food so you can swallow

dancing the conga, so you can follow

singing this song is kinetic energy

sing along and learn with me!

[chorus]

do-de-do-dee

kinetic energy

de-do-de-de

and potential energy

de-da-de-dooo

i love learning with you

[verse]

These two types of energy

potentially and kinetically

can change into each other,

for instance, do you see

a roller coaster car

at the top of a hill

has high potential energy,

and as it goes down,

it turns into kinetic energy.

thanks for singing and learning with me!
