1. Energy
Energy is all around us.

2. Here are forms of energy every 5th grader needs to know:
He Keeps Eating Lightly
Salted Potato Chips
*Heat *Kinetic *Electrical
*Light *Sound *Potential *Chemical

3. ENERGY Potential Energy Chemical Energy Sound Energy Heat Energy
Electrical Energy
Kinetic (Motion) Energy
Light Energy
ENERGY

4. Heat Energy
This energy is produced in many ways such as burning, rubbing, or mixing one substance with another. Heat energy flows from warmer objects to cooler ones until both reach the same temperature.

5. Kinetic Energy
Energy of Motion: This is the energy of an object which results from its motion.

6. Electrical Energy
The energy associated with electric charges and their movements. For example, circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy.

7. Light Energy
This energy travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror or lens or absorbed by an object.

8. Sound Energy
This is the energy produced by making things vibrate. Sound energy is transferred through the air from a source to an observer.

9. Potential Energy Stored energy determined by an object’s position.
An apple waiting to fall
A ball at the top of a ramp
A stretched out rubber band

10. Chemical Energy
The energy stored in matter. Energy can be released or consumed during a chemical reaction such as:
batteries
food we eat
wood that is burning

11. The process of transferring energy from one object to another.
Energy Changes
The process of transferring energy from one object to another.
Transfer = the same form of energy moving from one object to another

12. Examples of Energy Transfers

13. Energy Transfer
Energy Form =
HEAT
Where to Where?
hands
ice

14. Energy Transfer
Energy Form =
KINETIC
Where to Where?
legs
wheels

15. Energy Transfer Where to Where? appliance outlet Energy Form =
ELECTRICAL
Where to Where?
appliance
(TV, computer, etc)
outlet

16. Energy Transfer
Energy Form =
LIGHT
Where to Where?
eye
mirror

17. Energy Transfer
Energy Form =
SOUND
Where to Where?
ear
drum

18. Energy Transfer Where to Where? Fly Frog Energy Form = CHEMICAL (food)
(growth)

19. Energy Can Be Transformed
Transformation = converting one form of energy to another form of energy
An electric blanket transforms electricity to heat. Then, the blanket transfers heat to our body.

20. Energy Can Be Transformed
Electrical energy is transferred from the wall socket to the computer.
Electrical energy is transformed to sound and light energy when the computer is turned on.
Electrical energy is transformed to heat energy when the computer stays on.

21. Energy Can Be Transformed
Electrical energy is transferred from the wall socket to the curling iron.
Electrical energy is transformed to heat energy when the curling iron stays on.
Heat energy is transferred to the hair that is being curled.

22. Energy Can Be Transformed
Light energy from the sun is transformed to chemical energy as the plants grow.
Chemical energy is transformed to heat and kinetic energy as the panda eats the bamboo leaves.

23. Energy Can Be Transformed
The apple on the tree has potential energy due to its position.
Potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the apple falls and hits the man’s head.

24. Energy Can Be Transformed
Gasoline is a chemical energy. When gasoline is transferred into the car, a transformation occurs.
Transformations within this system include:
Heat energy
Electrical energy
Sound energy
Kinetic energy
Light energy
