Energy and Motion
A song about energy, work, and the physics of motion for learning basic physics concepts
Hold a ball way up high [boing!] Let it go and watch it drop — Potential turns kinetic — plop!
Energy passes hand to hand Same total at the end! One form into another — The books always balance, friend!
Wind the toy car — click click click — Elastic stored inside! Springs unwind, the car takes off — Stored energy goes for a ride!
Rub your palms — fast fast fast — Friction turns motion to HEAT! Hands grow warm, the air grows warm — Motion just changed its seat!
Energy passes hand to hand Same total at the end! One form into another — The books always balance, friend!
Pop a battery in the flashlight — [click] Chemical energy — bright! Ions shuffle, electrons flow — Out comes a beam of light!
Food becomes muscle Muscle becomes step Step becomes mile Same energy, new shape!
Energy passes hand to hand Same total at the end! One form into another — The books always balance, friend!
