Origami Jumping Frogs
by Jessica Pitts
In this lesson, students will create a paper “spring” with the folds of paper. The object is have the origami frog down on the back of the frog to spring the depressed—potential energy is stored. When students let go, the frog leaps into the air—the potential energy is spent in the form of kinetic energy and your frog flies.
This lesson covers potential and kinetic energy in a way that sixth graders can understand the different parts of energy!
