| Any deformed rigid object has this type of energy. | Elastic Energy |
| A measure of the amount of matter in an object. | Mass |
| How fast an object is going. | Speed |
| Why does an apple hanging in a tree have potential energy? | Because of its location off the ground. |
| Where is the greatest amount of kinetic energy on a roller coaster track? | At the bottom of the largest hill. |
| Is a skier going down a hill kinetic or potential energy? | Kinetic |
| Is a apple in a tree kinetic or potential energy? | Potential |
| Is a pencil on a table kinetic or potential energy? | Potential |
| Is a marble going down a ruler kinetic or potential energy? | Kinetic |
| Is a skier at the top of a hill kinetic or potential energy? | Potential |
| Is a bebee going down a tube kinetic or potential energy? | Kinetic |
| Is a bike going down a ramp kinetic or potential energy? | Kinetic |
| Is water running down a waterslide kinetic or potential energy? | Kinetic |
| Are leaves in a tree kinetic or potential energy? | Potential |
| What is the definition of kinetic energy? | Energy in motion |
| What is the definition of potential energy? | Stored energy |
| Describe how kinetic energy and potential energy are alike. | They are both types of energy and they are related to one another. |
| Describe how kinetic energy and potential energy are different. | Potential energy is stored energy and is shown in non-moving objects while kinetic energy is energy shown when an object is moving. |
