1. Essential Question: What are the types of energy and how is energy conserved?

2. Vocabulary  Energy  Chemical Energy  Electrical Energy  Nuclear Energy  Radiant Energy  Thermal Energy  Kinetic Energy  Potential Energy  Generator  Motor  Turbine  Law of Conservation of Energy  Alternative Resources  Inexhaustible Resource  Nonrenewable Resource  Renewable Resource  Photovoltaic

3.  The Law of Conservation of Energy Energy is never created or destroyed it just changes form Energy The ability to cause change.

4. Types of Energy Chemical Energy- the energy stored in chemical bonds. Nuclear Energy- the energy in the nucleus of every atom.

5. Types of Energy Thermal Energy- the energy of an object that increases as temperature increases. Radiant Energy- the energy carried by light.

6. Convection- the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of molecules from one part of a material to another.  Cold Sinks  Creates a Circular Current  Heat Rises

7. Types of Energy Electrical Energy- the energy carried by electrical current that comes out of batteries or electrical outlets. Kinetic Energy- the energy an object has because of its motion

8. Converting Energy Generator- a device that transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy. Motor- a device that transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.

9. Types of Energy  Potential Energy- energy that is stored in an object because of its position

10. Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources Gasoline is a nonrenewable resource. Wood is a renewable resource.

11. Inexhaustible Resource- an energy source that cannot be used up by humans. The Sun is an Inexhaustible Resource because we cannot use up that energy.

12. Alternative Resources- new renewable or inexhaustible resources. Wind to generate energy. The sun to power and heat houses Electrical Energy to Power Transportation

13. Generating Energy  Turbine- a set of steam powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant.  Photovoltaic- a device that transforms radiant energy directly into electrical energy.
