Activities in our daily lives that show kinetic and potential energy
Kinetic energy is the energy obtained when an object is in motion -- also known as the moving energy.
~ Jogging early in the morning
~ Washing dishes
~ Dancing
~ Biking
~ Playing badminton
Potential energy is the energy obtained when the object is at rest -- or the energy stored related to its position.
~ Sleeping deeply
~ Sitting completely still
~ A cup of water left unattended
~ Standing still in a weighing scale
~ A plate of scrambled egg atop the table

Kinetic Energy - Refers to the energy possesed by a medium that causes for an object to move. The amount of kinetic energy is associated with its mass and speed.
Potential energy - Also known as the stored energy in which the object or medium remains at rest not unless it was acted by a force.
Some example of the daily activities are:
1. Walking around the city - Kinetic energy
2. Reading a book - potential energy
3. Watching television - potential energy
4. Locomotor exercises (like jogging) - kinetic energy
5. Playing hide and seek - Kinetic energy
