What is it? Energy is the ability to do work. Work is moving any object.
Law of Conservation of Energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can transform from one form to another.
Light – movement of light waves Thermal – movement of molecules Mechanical – movement of parts Sound – movement of sound waves Chemical – produced by chemical reactions Electrical – movement of electrons Nuclear – changes in the nucleus
Turn to your neighbor and discuss these questions: 1. What do all of the forms of energy have in common? 2. What makes each form of energy different?

Battery Batteries are all over the place -- in our cars, our PCs, laptops, portable MP3 players and cell phones. A battery is essentially a can full of chemicals that produce electrons.

3-2-1 Talk Respond to the following: Respond to the following: 3 – 3 forms of energy found in objects in this classroom 3 – 3 forms of energy found in objects in this classroom 2 – 2 things in the room that do not have energy in this classroom 2 – 2 things in the room that do not have energy in this classroom 1 – 1 question you still have about forms of energy. 1 – 1 question you still have about forms of energy.
When energy is used, it changes from one form to another. This change of energy is called an ENERGY TRANSFORMATION i.e.: Playing an instrument involves: having the energy in your body > moving your fingers > creating sound. CHEMICAL (through digestion) > MECHANICAL (muscles) > SOUND
