Energy and You School/program name Date

Background Information (for facilitator) Less than 100 years ago, many people did not have electricity in their homes. Today however, nearly every aspect of our lives depends on an uninterrupted supply of electricity. By far, most of our electricity comes from the burning of coal. Other fossil fuels—petroleum and natural gas—are used to help find and extract most of the other resources we use, as well as to provide for most of our transportation needs. All forms of energy can be categorized as either potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of its position or structure. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, whether on an atomic or an astronomical scale. To generate electricity, kinetic energy (such as the flowing water that causes a turbine to spin) is used to move a magnet across a coil of wire. The movement of the magnetic field causes a flow of electrons in the wire, generating electricity. The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. When one form of energy is transformed into another, some of the original energy is “lost” as waste heat, but the total amount of energy in the system remains constant. For example, when an electronic device is used, some of the electricity flowing through the conducting materials is converted into heat, and escapes the device.
