4. 6/2 Title and make a list List 3 Criteria for your maglev car project – Must float – Motor must PUSH – Must “Look like a high-speed” vehicle – Must house a 1x1x5 inch piece of cargo – Wires must contact track behind the car

5. Exploring Technology - Lesson 7 Energy is the capacity to do work. – Lifting a weight – Heating a room or material – Pushing a vehicle Potential energy (stored) is often converted into Kinetic energy (motion)

6. Energy Energy can be used to do work using several processes. Energy can be potential or kinetic

7. Power is: – the rate at which energy is converted from one form to another, – transferred from one place to another, or – the rate at which work is done. We can walk up the steps or run. Either way, the same amount of work is done. Running does it faster and requires more POWER.

8. Much of the energy used in our environment is not used efficiently. – Automobile engines < 20% efficient – Hot water heater – Electrical power plants Conservation is the act of making better use of energy
