    How does this term apply to any of our class labs?

     This term applied to our water bottle rocket lab when the bottle was filled with water and about to shoot off. Also this term applied to our air rocket cars when our ballooon was blown up and about to move forward. You can change potential energy by changing the condition of the object, by changing the shape, and by changing its position. Some examples of potential energy are a stretched rubber band, and a ball in the air after being thrown because it wants to come down.
