⚡ Energy and Movement
This quiz explores energy as the ability to cause motion and change. You'll learn how pushing objects stores and transfers energy, and how different forms of energy—like the energy of moving objects, falling objects, and stretching materials—connect to forces and motion. Perfect for Grade 2 learners building their understanding of the Ontario physics curriculum.
