I had this exact idea... when I was 7. That was before I was introduced to newtonian physics.

    You were introduced to classical mechanics at age 8?

    They can understand some basic concepts before you get into the math. Especially potential energy turning into heat, which children experience firsthand frequently. IMHO kids these days seem to understand energy more easily than we did; I think it's because of video games.
