1 Energy Physical Science

2 Standards: S8P2. Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy.
a. Explain energy transformation in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy. b. Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. c. Compare and contrast the different forms of energy (heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound) and their characteristics.

3 Forms of Energy Flip Book
Requirements Form of Energy Definition 3 examples of each form Drawing of 2 examples No pencil drawings, all color Neat Include 1 example with 3 different Transformations Example: Mechanical – Electrical – Thermal Water fall or Hydro dam – Electricity-- Furnace Forms of Energy Flip Book

4 Energy is all around you.
Nature of Energy Energy is all around you. You hear energy as sound, you see energy as light, you can feel energy in wind. Living organisms need energy for growth and movement. You use energy when you hit a tennis ball, compress a spring, or lift a grocery bag. Energy is the ability to do work. Brainstorm other types of energy that surrounds us…

5 Forms of Energy Energy appears in many forms. There are 6 main forms of energy. Mechanical (motion) Heat – Thermal Energy Chemical Electromagnetic (light) Nuclear Sound See if the students can name the forms first – then click through…

6 Energy of moving particles of matter
Mechanical Energy Energy of motion. Energy of moving particles of matter Examples: Water in a waterfall Wind Moving vehicles Sound Blood traveling through your body Other examples from the class???

7 Heat Energy AKA…Thermal Energy
The internal motion of atoms. The faster the molecules move, the more heat energy is produced. Examples: Friction Changes in state of matter Discuss common kinds of friction students may be familiar with – hands rubbing together – tires- engine parts Candles – One lit candle in a car can increase the temp 2 degrees – if you are in a snow bank and cannot run the heater…

8 Sodium metal reacts with water.
Chemical Energy Energy that exists in the bonds that hold atoms together. When bonds are broken, chemical energy is released. Examples: Digesting food…bonds are broken to release energy for your body to store and use. Sports… your body uses energy stored in your muscles obtained from food. Green plant Fire–a chemical change. Remind students of video of the sodium metal in water – produced fire – Chemical Change… Sodium metal reacts with water.

9 Electromagnetic Energy
Energy that results from the flow of moving charges Examples: Sun’s energy (X-rays, radio waves, laser light etc.) Explain the picture with the xrays…

10 Nuclear Energy Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom as a result of strong nuclear forces. When the nucleus of an atom splits, nuclear energy is released. Nuclear energy is the most concentrated form of energy. What is the difference between fission and fusion? Which one is/was being used in this state?

11 Light Energy Energy when light is absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.
If the light is absorbed, it will cause the object to warm up a little. Ex. Stove – emits heat

12 Sound Energy Energy given off by a vibrating object.
Travels through matter in the form of waves Ex. Large blast from explosion, space shuttle taking off

13 Questions What is energy?
Can energy be transferred from one object to another? What are the different forms of energy? The ability to do work Yes, when an object does work on another object – energy gets transferred. Heat, mechanical, electromagnetic, nuclear, and chemical.

14 States of Energy There are two states of energy: Potential and Kinetic

15 Potential Energy Stored energy – energy of position.
Not always mechanical energy – can be other forms. Gravitational Potential energy – dependent on height and weight. GPE = Weight x Height Units – Newton*meter

16 Kinetic Energy The energy of motion.
The faster the object moves – the more kinetic energy. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity. KE = ½(mass x velocity2) Kg m2/s2 =Newton*meter= Joules Energy is the ability to do work – so the units are the same for energy as they are for work. - JOULES

17 Energy Conversions The most common energy conversion involves the changing of potential energy into kinetic energy or vice-versa. Examples: Ball thrown in the air Roller coaster Watch the animation and explain how this is a simple version of potential and kinetic energy exchange- it doesn’t take into consideration air resistance and friction – heat energy conversion for the friction and air resistance.

18 More Conversions All forms of energy can be converted to other forms.
Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Einstein – If matter is destroyed, energy is created, if energy is destroyed, matter is created. The total amount of mass and energy is conserved. Electrical energy is converted to electromagnetic and heat energy. Electromagnetic energy comes in…produces light then, converted to heat..

19 Concept Review Work Potential Stored 1/2mv2 Heat Chemical Nuclear
Mechanical Electromagnetic Potential Click for the answers… Motion Weight X Height Stored 1/2mv2

20 Writing Assignment Page 407 # 4 Identify the various energy conversions involved in the following events: An object is raised and then allowed to fall. As it hits the ground it stops, produces a sound and becomes warmer. Demonstrate a book falling to ground.

21 Ticket out the Door What Standard and which elements did this lesson cover? Draw a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting Nuclear energy with Chemical energy
