⚡ Energy and Movement
This quiz introduces Grade 2 students to the fundamental concept of energy as the ability to do work and cause motion. You'll explore kinetic energy in moving objects and stored (potential) energy in raised or compressed objects. Real-world examples like bouncing balls, stretched springs, and falling objects help you recognize how energy makes movement possible. **What you'll learn:** - Energy is the ability to do work and make things move - Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects - Potential energy is stored energy in raised or stretched objects - Energy can change from one form to another
