Potential and Kinetic Energy Concepts

Kyle Dillingham, Oklahoma's musical ambassador, greets fourth and fifth graders and introduces a demonstration on potential and kinetic energy using a violin. He explains how the bow resting on the strings represents potential energy, and when the bow moves, it becomes kinetic energy. The demonstration is followed by a musical performance to illustrate these concepts.
