Energy 101
The ultimate source of all energy on the planet begins with this glowing star, which is not a reference to the Winona Christian School mascot.
What is the sun?
Not to make your head spin, but this term describes energy actively in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
All arrows point to this form of energy that begins many energy transformations.
What is radiant (light, or solar) energy?
Eating a bag of chips and drinking a Dr. Pepper can quickly provide us with this type of energy needed for walking, running, or reading this seemingly endless clue.
What is chemical energy?
cktieni
What is kinetic?
Energy is the capacity to do work or cause this.
What is change?
Save it for later. This term describes energy that is stored and can be used at a moment's notice.
What is potential energy?
Whether you are serving a tennis ball or shooting a free throw in the gym, the energy in motion to do work points to this form of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
Surf's up! The mechanical energy generated by ocean tides can be converted to this form of energy normally manufactured by a generator.
What is electrical energy?

What is chemical?
Lavoisier said that energy can't be created or destroyed, but energy can change form. His famous work makes up both parts of this modern law.
What is the law of conservation of energy (mass)?
Dig deep and remember that this form of energy is generated within the center of the Earth.
What is geothermal energy?
Beep, beep! Describe how a car transforms energy to travel down a highway.
What is gasoline (chemical energy) → kinetic energy → thermal energy (engine warming)?
The main con behind hydroelectric power plants is that it damages these important, watery ecosystems.
What are aquatic ecosystems?

What is uranium?
What is increase?
Including satellites and certain calculators, these types of devices rely on solar energy.
What are photovoltaic devices?
Describe the energy pathway involved with listening to your favorite type of music from a radio, iPod, or AirPod.
What is electrical energy → kinetic energy → electrical energy?
One pro of windmills is that they produce less of this into the air. That should help you breathe easier.
What is pollution?
oambsis
What is biomass?
When energy is transferred, it means more than just movement from place to place. This process also means energy is changing form, which is termed this.
What is transformation?
Not a hot-button issue, but biomass is matter contained in living organisms that releases chemicals to break down into this form of energy.
What is thermal energy?
This may come as quite a shock, but describe how a generator transforms energy into electrical energy.
What is kinetic energy → electrical energy?
What is "the generator uses steam to produce electrical energy from kinetic energy?"
Nuclear energy contains these two important pros to justify its use in the modern world.
What are helping save fossil fuels and generating more energy?
