Kinetic sculptures are examples of kinetic art in the form of sculpture. In common with other types of kinetic art, kinetic sculptures have parts that move or that are in motion. The movement may be real or imagined, as in the case of kinetic sculpture using light or projection, for instance in the work of Abraham Palatnik. sound sculpture can also, in some cases, be considered kinetic sculpture. The motion of the work can be provided in many ways: mechanically through electricity, steam or clockwork; by utilising natural phenomena such as wind or wave power; or by relying on the spectator to provide the motion, by cranking a handle, shifting viewpoints or even by optical illusion. The term kinetic art was first recorded by the sculptors Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner in their Realist Manifesto issued as part of a manifesto of constructivism in 1920 in Moscow .

The name is derived from the Greek "kinesis" meaning motion, and related to the scientific term kinetic energy, which is the energy contained in a mass due to its motion.

Example of a kinetic sculpture is available on the reference site. Hope this helps. :)

Here is an image of an example, a windmill sculpture that moves with the wind:

Basically, a kinetic sculpture has parts that move.
Most sculpture pieces are static - they don't move.
