Motion Commotion
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
negatively charged electrons that move along a circuit are this type of energy.
What is electrical energy?
This is an example of electrical energy changing to mechanical energy. (Many will be accepted)
Pencil sharpener, remote control car, Tesla, a fan, a robot vacuum cleaner, a blender and many more.
This is a type of energy we can see and it travels in a straight path. Can travel through space.
What is light energy?
This type of energy is produced by the vibrations of matter.
What is sound energy?
A force (a push or pull) applied to an object which forces the object to move.
What is work?
Energy an object has due to its movement, position or condition.
What is mechanical energy?
Give an example of solar energy being changed to electrical energy
Solar powered calculator or solar panels on a house that bring electricity to the house.
Energy of moving molecules such as rubbing hands together.
Thermal or heat energy.
How sound travels.
What are waves?
Mechanical energy that is in motion
What is kinetic energy?
The type of energy stored in a battery.
What is chemical/electrical energy?
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to light energy.
What is a lamp or flashlight?
flashlight would use the stored electrical energy of the battery
This is a good example of heat and light energy happening at the same time.
A campfire, a fire, the sun.
Most musical instruments use this energy in order to make sound energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Stored energy or energy that an object has due to its position. Like a roller coaster car sitting at the top of the hill.
What is potential energy?
These are all examples of:
a car going down the highway
a boy writing
a whale chasing its prey
Mechanical energy
This is an example of electrical energy being changed to thermal energy.
What are ovens, hair dryer, an iron and many others?
Increased friction can cause more of this type of energy.
What is heat energy?
Bats and whales use sound and this E word to find prey and each other.
What is echolocation?
As a roller coaster car goes down a hill, its potential energy is changed into this.
What is kinetic energy?
These are all examples of:
the sun
a candle
a light bulb
What is light energy?
Plants use solar energy to make food through this long word process.
Photosynthesis
The two types of energy that have conductors and insulators.
What are electrical and thermal?
The states of matter sound can travel through.
What are solids, liquids and gases?
