Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception EGM013

Energy is not associated with motion. For example, a toy with a spring has energy only until the spring resumes its former shape and a rock falling of a cliff does not have energy (Kruger, 1990).

Items that test for misconception EGM013 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
EG023003	Both a ball that is thrown and a ball that is dropped have motion energy while they are moving.	8%
EG003004	Two children that have the same mass and are sledding at the same speed have the same amount of motion energy.	5%
EG001007	For two balls that have the same mass, the ball that is rolling faster has more motion energy.	4%
