6. 6 Electrical energy- Energy transformations Electrical energy- flow of electrons (a current) Other ways of generating electricity: Water flowing through a dam in a river to move turbines Wind generators that use the energy of moving wind & operate a generator Nuclear power plants convert atomic energy into heat. Heat boils water to form steam & then follows the same energy transformations as coal power plants666

7. 7Science STAAR Need to Know Many energy transformations… Electrical to mechanical: Electricity used to spin the CD (Spinning CD has mechanical energy due to its position or motion) Electrical to sound: A laser converts the digital information on the CD into electrical energy and this energy goes to the headphones as a vibration- this transmits Sound! Chemical to electrical: Batteries store chemical compounds that react when they are used to power something. This produces a flow of electrons which is electricity!!

8. 8Science STAAR Need to Know Sound energy- Energy transformations Sound – consists of mechanical energy waves created by vibrations. Sound must travel through something (called “medium” or “media”) such as air, water, or a solid. The medium carries the energy of the wave from one place to another. Example: Air transmits the energy of the vibrating material in the headphones to your eardrums. A vacuum is a space that contains little or no matter. Sound can’t travel through a vacuum since there are no particles to squeeze together (compression) or spread apart (rarefaction)

9. 9Science STAAR Need to Know Light waves do not need a medium to transmit energy! They can even travel through empty space.

10. 10Science STAAR Need to Know Water waves are a form of a wave that transmits mechanical energy across the surface of water. A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.

11. 11Science STAAR Need to Know Seismic waves are caused by earthquakes that transmit mechanical energy through the Earth’s layers.

Rubber band flying through the air has kinetic energy

15. 15Science STAAR Need to Know Before the yo-yo begins its fall it has stored energy due to its position. At the top it has its maximum potential energy. As it starts to fall the potential energy begins to be changed into kinetic energy. At the bottom its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy so that it now has its maximum kinetic energy A waterfall has both potential and kinetic energy. The water at the top of Bridal Veil Falls has stored potential energy. When the water begins to fall, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. This change in energy also happens at Niagara Falls where it is used to provide electricity from the transformation of mechanical and electromagnetic energy.

21. 21Science STAAR Need to Know A book resting on a desk illustrates balanced forces. However, a book dropped from a desk illustrates unbalanced forces. In this case, gravity has overcome the balance of forces.

22. GRAVITY 22Science STAAR Need to Know

23. 23Science STAAR Need to Know You use force to move your body When you bend your arm, your muscles contract, which applies force to your arm bones. Your arm responds to this force by moving. During breathing, muscles contract (use force) to move air in and out of the lungs. The heart contracts (uses force) to pump blood through the blood vessels, carrying oxygen to the muscles.

24. 24Science STAAR Need to Know All living things use force to move Emerging seedlings exert force on the surrounding soil. This force pushes the stem of the plant out of the ground. Plants exert force to open flower petals, curl & uncurl leaves & push roots through the soil. Force is used to move materials in & out of cells. Fish exert force to swim by pushing against the water.

49. 49Science STAAR Need to Know A lever is a bar that rests on a support called a fulcrum which lifts or moves loads. A lever is a bar that rests on a support called a fulcrum which lifts or moves loads.

50. 50Science STAAR Need to Know Types of levers

51. 51Science STAAR Need to Know A pulley is a simple machine that uses grooved wheels and a rope to raise, lower or move a load. When a rope passes over a wheel, it changes the direction of effort (pull) needed to move the load. This pulley has 1 wheel, so it changes the direction of pull 1 time. The input force is the same as the weight using the pulley.

52. 52Science STAAR Need to Know Wedge A wedge is an object with at least one slanting side ending in a sharp edge, which cuts material apart.

53. 53Science STAAR Need to Know An inclined plane is a ramp used to reduce the effort needed to raise or lower an object over a vertical height. It is easier to climb stairs to get to a second floor than to climb straight up a rope. It is easier to walk up a long, gentle hill than to climb up a short, steep hill. Examples of inclined planes: Loading ramp; Stairs or wheelchair ramp Mountain road; Threaded screw. The ancient Egyptians used inclined planes, or ramps, to move huge blocks of stone to build the pyramids.
