Energy Its Nature, Forms, Sources, & Transformations Global Warming Greenhouse gases Carbon Footprint Topics What Energy is Sources of energy Renewable – Nonrenewable Traditional – Alternative Different Forms of energy Temperature Scales Transformations between forms Analysis and Perspectives Global Warming: Greenhouse gases and Carbon Footprint Key Terms Kinetic Energy Potential Energy Mass Endothermic Exothermic Renewable Nonrenewable Kilowatt Kilowatt - Hour Temperature Heat Thermal Energy Mechanical Energy Gravitational Energy Nuclear Energy Radiant Energy Chemical Energy Electrical Energy What is Energy? Energy helps us do many things. Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy makes things move. It makes heat & light. It makes technology work. It makes things grow. Sources of Energy Traditional vs Alternative Renewable vs Nonrenewable Sources of Energy Forms of Energy All forms of energy fall under two categories Potential Potential energy is stored energy and energy of position Kinetic Kinetic energy is motion. It is the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, & substances Chemical Energy Radiant Energy Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, propane, and coal are examples. This is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. Solar energy is an example. Nuclear Energy Thermal Energy Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. It is the energy that holds the nucleus together. Stored Mechanical Energy This is energy stored in objects or substances by the application of force. Compressed metal springs and stretched rubber bands are examples. Gravitational Energy This is the energy of place or position. Water held in a reservoir behind a dam is an example. When water is released to spin the turbines it becomes motion energy. Thermal energy is the total amount of kinetic energy of all the atoms in an object. Heat is the transfer of this energy. Motion The movement of objects or substances from one place to another is motion. Wind is an example. Sound Sound is the movement of energy through objects or substances in longitudinal waves. Electrical Energy This is the movement of electrons. Lightning and electricity are examples. Transformations of Energy The Engine in your car: Transforms chemical energy into kinetic energy. An electric motor in an elevator: Transforms electric energy into gravitational potential energy. Rube Goldberg Machine Temperature Scales A thermometer measures temperature. Temperature is the average amount of thermal energy of each particle in an object. Fahrenheit - °F Water Celsius - °C Freezing = 32 °F Boiling = 212 °F 0 °F is temp. of snow and salt mixture Used only in the US F = (9/5 x C) + 32 Water Freezing = 0 °C Boiling = 100 °C Used throughout the world but only in laboratories within the US C = 5/9 x (F – 32) Transformations of Energy Details about this topic Supporting information and examples How it relates to your audience Rube Goldberg Machine Wind blows kite which pulls cord releasing shirt which drops boot closing switch which turns on iron which burns squirrel causing it to jump into basket releasing woodpecker to peck and thereby sharpen the pencil. Cog Movie Analysis & Perspectives Global Climate Change Greenhouse Gases Carbon Footprint Energy Consumption Energy Flow Energy Sources and Sectors Petroleum Flow Global Warming Greenhouse Gas Emissions Per capita greenhouse gas emission Carbon Footprints A “footprint” is what is left behind as a result of activities The carbon footprint is a measure of the global amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted by a human activity or accumulated over the full life cycle of a product or service A Carbon Footprint is generally expressed as a CO2 equivalent (usually in kilograms or tonnes) Two forms Life Cycle concept: What is the total emission of CO2 or other greenhouse gases for the entire life of some product or activity. This includes during manufacturing, transporting, using, and disposing. Personal concept: What is the total emission of CO2 due to the actions of an individual over a period of 1 year.
