=Notes for Potential/Kinetic Energy Foldable= __**Potential Energy (PE):**__ Turn into Dalrymple at the end of class. //**Done?**// On a laptop, click on the following link, choose the green "Run Now" button and play around and become familiar with the Skate Park simulation. @http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park
 * __Kinetic Energy (KE):__**
 * KE is the energy of motion.
 * An object's **mass** and **speed** affect the amount of KE.
 * (//Draw a picture that illustrates KE and include a sentence explanation.//)
 * PE is energy that is stored in an object as a result of its position, shape, or chemical composition.
 * Gravitational PE due to an object's position above Earth's surface. //Example: skateboarder at the top of a ramp.//
 * Elastic PE is due to position and shape in an object being compressed or flexed. //Example: stretched rubber band//
 * Chemical PE is due to a substance's chemical composition. //Example: energy stored in food//
 * (//Draw a picture that illustrates PE and include a sentence explanation.//)
