Energy changes between potential and kinetic when something moves up or down. For example, a ball held high has lots of potential energy, and when you drop it that energy turns into kinetic energy as it speeds up. On a swing or a roller coaster, the highest point has more potential energy and the lowest point has more kinetic energy. Energy doesn't disappear — it just changes from stored energy to motion energy.
