Winding a toy involves storing mechanical energy in a spring or elastic material, which is then converted into kinetic energy as the toy is released, causing it to move.
When children wind a toy, they demonstrate mechanical energy. Mechanical energy involves the motion and position of objects. In this case, the winding action stores potential mechanical energy in the toy’s internal mechanisms, which can later be released to make the toy move.
