6.P.3.3 Explain the suitability of materials for use in technological design based on a response to heat (to include conduction, expansion, and contraction) and electrical energy (conductors and insulators).

2. Energy is the power to change things.
Energy is the ability to do work.

3. The sun gives out light and heat energy.
Lights use electrical energy.
Batteries for flashlights use chemical energy.

4. Kinetic and Potential Energy
2 Kinds of Energy
One is doing work and the other is waiting to do work.
Kinetic and Potential Energy

5. Potential Energy Energy that is waiting to do work may be:
Sitting above ground level
Is compressed or expanded in some way
Found in the attraction between atoms
This is potential energy.
Potential Energy is stored energy which means it has the ability to do work
Examples:
-A rubber band when you stretch it
-A yo-yo before you let it fall

6. Kinetic Energy
When we see energy doing work, it is pushing or pulling, glowing, or changing temperature.
This is kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy is energy of motion
Examples:
-A rubber band flying through the air
-A yo-yo in motion

7. Forms of Energy Mechanical energy Thermal energy Chemical energy
Electrical energy
Light energy
Sound energy
Nuclear energy

8. Mechanical Energy
Energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
Examples:
A hammer uses mechanical energy to do work. The mechanical energy of the hammer gives it the ability to apply the force to the nail in order to move the nail.

9. Thermal Energy
Total energy of the particles in a substance or material.
When the thermal energy of an object increases, particles move faster, making the temperature of the object rise.
Example:
Ice cream melts when its thermal energy increases

10. Chemical Energy Potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Examples:
Food that you eat
Match used to light a candle
Cells of your body

11. Electrical Energy Moving electrical charges produce electricity.
Examples:
Radios
Lights
Computers
Static shock

12. Electromagnetic Energy
Energy that travels in waves.
Examples:
Visible light
Ultraviolet radiation
Microwaves

13. Nuclear Energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom and is released during nuclear reactions.
Examples:
Sun
Stars
Nuclear Power plant

14. What kinds of energy can you identify?

15. Potential Energy Converted to Kinetic Energy…
When stored energy begins to move, the object now transfers from potential energy into kinetic energy.
Potential energy eventually will need to transfer from it’s stored energy into motion. If a person is standing still, they obtain potential energy because the have the ability to walk or run… if the same person who is standing still decides to start running, then they have transferred their PE into KE… in other words, they went from storing energy, to moving energy.
Standing still
Running

16. Stored potential chemical energy in a flashlight’s batteries becomes light energy when the flashlight is turned on.

17. Food is stored energy. It is stored as a chemical with potential energy. When your body uses that stored energy to do work, it becomes kinetic energy.

18. When you talk on the phone, your voice is converted into electrical energy, which passes over wires. The phone on the other end changes the electrical energy into sound energy through the speaker.

19. A television changes electrical energy into light and sound energy.

20. Let’s Review
If you are holding a coin in your hand, what type of energy does it have?
If you drop the coin into a piggy bank, what happens to the energy?
Potential, because it has the ability to do work.
It is transferred from potential to kinetic. Dropping the coin changes the stored energy into motion.

21. A Power Plant
The energy transformation process is carried out in three stages:
Chemical energy in the fuel (gas or oil) is released as heat in the boiler when it burns with air.
Heat converts water in boiler tubes to steam, which is then used to drive a turbine that converts energy into mechanical energy.
Mechanical energy drives an alternator to produce electrical energy.

23. Law of Conservation of Energy
When energy changes form – the total energy before and after is the same.
When you turn on a car, the chemical energy in the gas is converted to mechanical energy in the engine and heat energy – but all energy can be accounted for.

24. Temperature
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object.
The particles of hot cocoa move faster than those of chocolate milk.
Which drink has particles with the greater average kinetic energy?
Hot cocoa

25. Heat
Movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to another at a lower temperature.
Heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.

26. How Is Heat Transferred?
Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.

27. Conduction
Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself.
Example:
Think of a metal spoon in a pot on the stove. Fast particles of hot electric coil collide with slow particles of cool pot. Particles of pot collide with particles of water, which collide with particles of spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.

28. Convection
Heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid (a liquid or gas).
Example:
When water at the bottom of a pot is heated, particles move faster, and farther apart. Heated water is less dense so it rises to the top of the pot. The surrounding cooler water flows into the bottom of the pot in a circular motion called convection current.

29. Radiation Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
Radiation does not require matter to transfer thermal energy.
Example:
You can feel radiation from a bonfire or heat lamp from a distance.
