3) Energy is the ability to change in matter. There are many types of energy. Kinetic and potential energy are both forms of energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Any moving object has kinetic energy. On the other hand, potential energy is very different because it is energy something has because of its position and condition. If an object is at rest, it has the potential to move, which means it has potential energy. A ball that is sitting at the top of a bookshelf has potential energy based on its position because it could easily turn in to kinetic energy if the object began to fall.

As a result of global warming and bamboo’s slow reproductive rate (only flowering every 30 to 35 years), a study in China’s northwester Qinling Mountains has predicted a large decline in the amount of bamboo. Because of this shortage of bamboo, the 270 panda bears that find their home in the Qinling Mountains are going to be in danger without their source of energy.
