I moved your article out of mainspace, because it's not clear. Please rewrite it, with a 10 or 14 year old child in mind. --Ed Poor Talk 08:22, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

Oops, I didn't realise that we were aiming for that sort of age group - I'm used to teaching it to 18-21 year olds, but I'll try to tone it down!
Articles like this just need an introduction which assumes little or no previous knowledge. I know what potential energy is, because I studied physics - with the equations and everything. But most of our readers will have learned "science" as a collection of "facts". I doubt that one person in 100 has the foggiest idea of what potential energy is.
Meet the reader where he is, and then bring him on an amazing journey to where you live! :-) --Ed Poor Talk 09:02, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
