C2 - ENERGY videos!!

1. Watch the cartoon and learn about Potential and Kinetic Energy!




2. I used to watch this carton when I was a kid.  It's still relevant today, because it's based on Scientific Laws; Scientific Laws remain constant ALWAYS.  Think of the law of gravity, a million years ago, stuff was falling down, and a million years later it'll be falling down too.  Potential and Kinetic Energy are based on Scientific Laws too.  Enjoy!



3.

Science Article #2 ENERGY *due 10-12-18*

1. Should Yellowstone's Supervolcano be used for energy?

2. New solar panels can produce power from both the sun and rain

3. Flame it on the sunshine: Thai solar chicken a hot hit

4. Explainer: Where fossil fuels come from
