STORED ENERGYBalls bounce because they
are elastic.They rapidly resume their
shape when squashed.
Toys driven by SPRINGS
are also moved by the release of
stored elastic energy. Jack in a Box Wind-Up toy
SPINNING TOYS
When a wheel is spinning around a point, (axis) it is easier to stay in
motion.
BatteriesBatteries store energy as chemical energy.
What make toys move?

Indigenous Perspectives
shells nutspebbles
Traditional Aboriginal games were not only played by children.
Some games involved only men and boys, even old men, while in other games everyone was allowed to participate.
KeentanA keep-away game of catch ball played by
both girls and boys. The game was also called the 'kangaroo-play' because the players jumping up to
catch the ball resembled the movements of a kangaroo.
This traditional game was played by girls only.
A short piece of stick was placed on the ground to represent a baby.
Each girl had to defend her child from the digging sticks of the other girls who
pretended to try to kill the baby by throwing the sticks at the 'mother'.
The mother tried to fend them off using her own digging stick ('wana').
