1. Introduction to Energy

2. Energy is defined as the ability to produce change or do work.
What is Energy?
Energy is defined as the ability to produce change or do work.

3. How we recognize energy
Energy produces light
Energy produces heat
Energy produces motion
Energy produces sound
Energy produces growth
Energy powers technology

4. Two main kinds of energy
Kinetic energy—energy of motion—the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects
Potential—stored energy and the energy of position

5. Kinds of Potential Energy
Chemical Energy
Energy stored in bonds of atoms and molecules

6. Kinds of Potential Energy
Stored Mechanical Energy
Energy stored in objects by the application of force

7. Kinds of Potential Energy
Nuclear Energy
Energy stored in nucleus of an atom
Can be released by fission (splitting the atom—used for nuclear power) or fusion (two small atoms come together to make one big atom—happens in stars)

8. Kinds of Potential Energy
Gravitational Energy
Energy of position or place

9. Kinds of Kinetic Energy
Electrical Energy
Energy of movement of electrons

10. Kinds of Kinetic Energy
Radiant Energy
Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves

11. Kinds of Kinetic Energy
Thermal Energy
AKA heat, is the internal energy in substances-vibrations and movements of atoms in a substance.

12. Kinds of Kinetic Energy
Motion (Mechanical)
The movement of objects from one place to another.

13. Kinds of Kinetic Energy
Sound
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves.
