A mass on a spring: energy stores and transfers

A quick start video on how to use the PhET masses and springs simulation to teach energy stores and transfers. The simulation considers gravitation potential energy (PE), elastic potential energy, kinetic energy (KE) and thermal energy losses through air resistance.
