In science, ENERGY is the ability to do
work and cause change.
We need energy to do everything we do in our daily lives.
…Reading a book.
…Running around the school.
…Riding a bike.
…Even resting needs energy.
Everything that happens in the world involves movement
and for something to move, energy is required.
If something takes energy in, then it also gives out.
Think about it like this:
A light bulb can get energy in
from the main electricity supply…
…and the bulb give energy back out as light and as heat.
M echanical Energy
R adiant (Light) Energy
Chemical Energy
Heat (Thermal) Energy
Electrical Energy
Nuclear Energy
…energy of moving objects.
…kinetic energy + potential energy in the system
Windmill used to make electricity.
Paddle used to turn water to move boat.
Peddling bicycle to move forward.
…Made up of waves called electromagnetic waves
…Light, Ultraviolet light, X rays, infrared radiation (heat),
radio waves, microwaves, radar
…Energy stored in molecules.
…Chemical reactions use or release chemical energy
…results from the movement of particles and also
produces light in some instances.
A beaker of hot water has
more heat energy than a
beaker of cold water because
the molecules are moving
faster in the hot water.
…when an electrical current flows in a circuit
to provide energy to an appliance.
…is from the nucleus of the atom.
Nuclear Fission – splits 1 atom into 2
HEAT from reaction makes STEAM to turn turbine that generates
ELECTRICITY
Nuclear Fusion – combines 2 nuclei to make 1
Energy can NOT be created OR
destroyed – it can only change from one
form of energy to another.
These changes from one form to
another are called Energy Conversions
or Energy Transformations.
Let’s look at an example:
A camper is using a wood fire to heat a pot of water for
coffee. The pot has a whistle that lets the camper know
when the water boils.
Identify the types of energy involved:
• Chemical Energy from the wood is
changed to Heat Energy.
• Heat Energy is changed to Mechanical
Energy as the water boils and changes
to steam that makes the whistle vibrate.
• The whistle changes the Mechanical
energy into Radiant energy to sound.
