We are doing a flexi physics slideshow and it was interesting learning about different energys.
- Elastic energy is energy stored in elastic materials as a result of compressing and stretching for example if you stretch a rubber band the elastic energy will make it ping.
- Chemical energy is energy stored in substances due to their chemical bonds for example if you
- Potential energy is stored energy and an example of this is if you hold a pen and are about to drop it but you haven’t.
- Kinetic energy is moving energy for example if you jump your in motion and that’s kinetic energy.
- Gravitational energy is energy that pulls you down for example if you jumped you would get pulled back down.

- What are some examples of chemical energy?
Answer: Examples of chemical energy are batteries, natural gas and coal.
- What would cause a ball to bounce higher than if it were just dropped on to the ground?
Answer: A ball would bounce higher if you threw it because it would have more power it will bounce a lot higher.
- What are the 3 states of spring energy?
Answer: The 3 states of energy are spring in its normal state, stretched spring and
Compressed spring.
- What is the difference between a slingshot and catapult?
Answer: The difference between for a catapult it can be automatic and slingshot you have to pull back.
- What forms of energy can you see in the picture?
Answer: We can see kinetic energy used as shes moving.
