1. Energy! By Angie Nelson www.shsu.edu/.../ mgt476/mgt476.html

2. Energy Comes in Several Forms Thermal Radiation Conduction Convection Kinetic Potential

3. Thermal Energy Thermal Energy is HEAT energy! Everything is made up of molecules. Molecules moving quickly and bumping into each other create heat or thermal energy.

4. Radiation Heat and energy radiate from an object. The sun’s light and heat are a form of radiation. Energy is radiated in the form of heat or thermal energy. www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/ nano/nanostruktur...

5. Heat is conducted or passed from one object to another. Metal is a very good conductor or heat energy. If you use a metal pan to bake brownies, the metal pan conducts the heat energy from the oven, through the pan, to the brownies. kelvin.ou.edu/ conduction.jpg

6. Convection Convection uses hot air to transfer energy. When using a convection oven to bake, hot air is distributed around the oven in order to cook or bake the food. Thermals in the atmosphere are an example of convection. These pockets of warm air help to keep gliders floating and sailing in the sky.

7. Kinetic Energy Objects in motion possess Kinetic energy. All objects have Kinetic energy. The amount of Kinetic energy an object has depends upon it’s mass. Kinetic and Potential energy are related.

8. Potential energy is stored energy. Stored energy has not been released in the form of kinetic energy. The amount of potential energy and object has, depends on the mass of the object. A baseball has less potential energy than a train. Potential
