1. Lesson 6-1 Energy and Power Technologies
Foundations of Technology

2. Objective:
To familiarize students with how advancements in the processing and controlling of energy resources have been enabling factors in the development of technology.

3. Types of Energy There are only two types of energy:
Potential energy- energy at rest, waiting to do work
Kinetic energy- energy in motion

4. Potential Energy Forms of potential energy are:
Chemical energy-energy stored in molecular bonds
Mechanical energy-energy stored in objects such as springs
Nuclear energy-energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Gravitational energy-energy stored as a result of an object’s height
Electrical energy-energy caused by the flow of electrons

5. Kinetic Energy Forms of kinetic energy include:
Radiant energy-energy that travels in electromagnetic waves
Thermal Energy-energy caused by the vibration of atoms and molecules within a substance (heat)
Motion energy-energy stored in the movement of objects
Sound energy-energy resulting from the vibration of atoms and molecules
