Elastic energy

Our buddies helped us to understand how elastic energy in a rubber band, which has potential energy, is converted into kinetic energy by doing an experiment.

You need:

cotton reel

rubber band

washer

match stick

tape

pencil

 

 

Thank you Jane Quin for donating the cotton reels and washers.

 

Our Year 5 and 6 buddies made race cars driven by elastic energy.  They might help us to make one too.
