Name _____________________________________________________ Page # ___________ Date ______________________________________________________ Class ____________ Energy Unit Objectives Standard 10: Various forms of energy are constantly being transformed into other types without any net loss of energy from the system. By the end of our ENERGY unit, you will be able to... 1. compare potential and kinetic energy. 2. compare and contrast gravitational potential energy, chemical potential energy, and elastic potential energy. 3. analyze various types of energy transformations (how energy changes form). 4. apply the law of conservation of energy to energy transformations. 5. identify various forms of energy and give examples of kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, radiant energy, electrical energy, and nuclear energy. 6. explain what renewable and nonrenewable resources are and give examples of each. 7. explain what alternative energy resources are and give examples. 8. identify photovoltaic cells and the type of energy they are used to produce. 9. explain how fossil fuels are formed, give examples of fossil fuels, and explain advantages and disadvantages to using fossil fuels. 10. explain how nuclear energy is used to make electricity, and list 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages to using nuclear energy to produce electricity. 11. explain how hydroelectric energy is produced, and give 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage to using hydroelectric energy to produce electricity. 12. explain how wind energy is harnessed to produce electricity, and give 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage to using wind energy to produce electricity. 13. explain how coal is burned to produce electricity, and give 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage to burning coal to produce electricity.
