Forms of Energy
Read - Forms of Energy 1. All energy falls into two categories: Potential: stored energy and energy of position Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, humans, animals and objects.
Read - What Forms of Energy Are There? POTENTIAL KINETIC Chemical Energy Nuclear Energy Gravitational Energy Radiant Energy Electrical Energy Mechanical Sound Thermal Energy
How will we ever remember these?! Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.
How is that sentence going to help?! Read on, and follow the directions!
Directions Read each slide. Write down what the memory trick word stands for. Write 2 examples of that kind of energy. EXAMPLE: C (Cam) – chemical – digestion, batteries
1. Cam=Chemical Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries
2. Newton= Nuclear Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together. Example: Breaking down Uranium
3. Got= Gravitational Energy of place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy. Example: two plants at different heights
4. Really= Radiant Example: Visible Light Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light.
5. Excited= Electrical Movement of electrons. Example: lamp, computer
6. Making= Mechanical The movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion. Example: Riding a bike
7. Stinky = Sound Movement of energy through substances in waves. Example: bell
8. Tacos= Thermal The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat. Example: stove boiling water
Summary Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal
