1. The 10 Types of Energy

2. What do you know?  Name as many sources of energy as you can identify in this room.

3. Essential Questions  Why is energy so important?  What are some of the pros and cons of the different energy sources?  How can combining the various energy sources help provide us with efficient sources of energy?

4. Potential and Kinetic Energy  All energy sources can be described as potential and kinetic. Potential energy – stored energy, or energy that can be kept and used at a later time Kinetic energy – energy in motion – the energy is contained in the movement of the object or movement inside the object

5. The 10 Types of Energy  Kinetic – energy is motion (ex- a ball moving)  Gravitational energy – energy due to the force of gravity (ex- ball held above the ground and dropped  Spring energy - objects that can be straightened and then return to their shape later (ex- spring)  Electrical energy – energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor (ex- electricity and static cling)  Magnetic energy – a magnetic field that contains energy (ex- magnetic and a compass)  Mechanical energy – energy of motion of objects (ex- scissors opening and closing and clicking a computer mouse

6. The 10 Types of Energy  Heat energy – sensible and latent energy – energy given of by temperature or a change in state (ex- hot water and steam)  Nuclear energy – fission and fusion - when atoms are broken apart or fused together (ex- heavy water)  Light energy – energy produced by the frequencies of radiation (ex- x-ray, solar, and microwaves)  Chemical energy – chemical compounds composed of atoms that form chemical bonds (ex- batteries, oil, and gunpowder)

7. Energy Changes Forms Can you identify the different forms of energy and what they change to? Electric Wok FlashlightGuitar String Plucked Blinds being opened Electrical to Heat Chemical in batteries to light Mechanical to Kinetic (Sound) Mechanical to Gravitational

8. Energy Changes Forms Can you identify the different forms of energy and what they change to? Burning Candle Sand Clock Arrow from Crossbow Hand Scanner Chemical (wax) to light Gravitational to Kinetic Spring to Kinetic Light to Electrical

9. Exploration Time – Your Task  To further explore the 10 types of energy, you will be assigned a source to research and create a poster presentation to present to the class.  You should include the following items: Definition of your energy source. Give three examples with images of your energy source. How is your energy source currently being used? Be creative and think of a way you could use this energy source that is not already being used.  Time Limit – 3 days for research and preparation and 1 day to present
