6. 30 miles per hour (60 ÷ 2 = 30)

7. 12 miles (3 × 4 = 12)

8. Sample answer: Energy from my muscles (chemical energy) transfers to the ball as kinetic energy. When the ball hits the ground, some energy transfers to the ground and some bounces back up. The ball gradually loses energy and stops bouncing.

9. Sample answers: Walking to school, eating breakfast for energy, using lights in classroom, playing at recess, riding the bus, etc.
