1 Thursday- Science Question of the Day
An automobile engine converts the chemical energy in gasoline mostly into heat and - A. nuclear energy. B. light energy. C. electromagnetic energy. D. mechanical energy.   Recognize that energy can be transformed from one type to another.

2 Going Over the Question of the Day
Testing Tips: An automobile engine converts the chemical energy in gasoline mostly into heat and – A. nuclear energy B. light energy C. electromagnetic energy D. mechanical energy. When thinking about energy transformations from our second unit, it is important to visualize the object and ask some important questions about it: What is the source of energy of this object? The source of energy of an automobile is gasoline – which has chemical energy What is the purpose of the object? The purpose of an automobile is to move! Does any other form of energy get produced also? Remember, the most common form of energy that is produced is heat (thermal energy)! Because the purpose of an automobile is to move, the following energy transformation takes place: Chemical energy  thermal energy (heat) & mechanical energy

3 Key Concepts to remember about Energy Transformations
We learned about several forms of energy: Potential Energy Light Energy Kinetic Energy Sound Energy Mechanical Energy Electrical Energy Thermal Energy Nuclear Energy There are three forms of potential energy: Gravitational Potential Energy Elastic Potential Energy Chemical Potential Energy The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed or created. Remember: Energy just changes from one form to another!

4 Part I: Reviewing Forms of Energy

5 Make sure you have at least 3 lines for each row in your table!
Taking Notes for Part I: Set up a table like the one below in your notebook and fill it in as we go along! Form of Energy Definition Example (1) Kinetic Energy (2) Gravitational Potential Energy (3) Chemical Potential Energy (4) Elastic Potential Energy (5) Mechanical Energy (6) Thermal Energy (7) Electrical Energy (8) Sound Energy (9) Light Energy (10) Nuclear Energy Make sure you have at least 3 lines for each row in your table!

6 Bellringer Give an example of an abiotic factor in a Tropical Rain Forest. What does a anemometer measure? What causes the tides to rise and fall on Earth? What form of energy would a stretched rubber band have? What measures humidity?

7 Mechanical Energy A spinning wheel.
Mechanical Energy is the total energy of motion and position of an object Example of Mechanical Energy A spinning wheel.

8 Thermal Energy Water has thermal energy.
Thermal energy is all of the kinetic energy due to random motion of the particles that make up an object. The hotter something is, the more kinetic energy its particles have. If something is cold, like ice, its particles are moving very slow, or have little kinetic energy. Example of Thermal Energy Water has thermal energy.

9 Electrical Energy Example of Electrical Energy Electrical energy is the energy of moving electrons. A.k.a. electricity! Anything that is powered by electricity requires electrical energy!

10 Sound Energy Anything that produces sound is giving off sound energy!
Sound energy is an object’s vibrations transmit sound energy through the air. Example of Sound Energy Anything that produces sound is giving off sound energy!

11 Light Energy Anything that produces a form of light!
Light (electromagnetic) Energy is produced by vibrations of electrically charged particles. Example of Light Energy Anything that produces a form of light!

12 Nuclear Energy The sun is a natural example of nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is Energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of an atom. The sun is a natural example of nuclear energy. Humans have also figured out a way to produce electricity using nuclear energy.

13 Part II: Energy Transformations

14 Energy Conversion Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions.

15 States of Energy The most common energy conversion is the conversion between potential and kinetic energy. All forms of energy can be in either of two states: Potential Kinetic

16 Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversions
As a basketball player throws the ball into the air, various energy conversions take place.

17 Ball speeds up Ball slows down

18 Energy conversions All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into electricity. Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starches and sugars (chemical energy).

19 Other energy conversions
In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy. The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy in a generator.

20 Chemical  Heat Mechanical

21 Energy just CHANGES!  Write this down The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed or created. When thinking about energy transformations, it is important to visualize the object and ask some important questions about it: (1) What is the source of energy of this object? (2) What is the purpose of the object? (3) Does any other form of energy get produced also?  Write this down

22 Looking at Real Examples of Energy Conversions: BLOW DRYER
What is the source of energy of this object? A blow dryer is powered by electrical energy. What is the purpose of the object? To dry your hair! * this is done through thermal energy (heat) Does any other form of energy get produced also? A blow dryer also produces sound energy and mechanical energy (the motor spins to blow air out of the blow dryer) What energy conversions are taking place here? _________ energy  _________ energy _________ energy _________ energy _________ energy  _________ energy Electrical Mechanical Mechanical Sound Electrical Thermal

23 Looking at Real Examples of Energy Conversions: MATCH BEING LIT
What is the source of energy of this object? Your mechanical energy (moving arm) strikes the match against the box. Also, the chemical energy in the red tip of a match is what sparks the flame. What is the purpose of the object? To create fire, which gives off heat (thermal energy) and light! Does any other form of energy get produced also? When a match is struck, you can hear it (sound energy) What energy conversions are taking place here? _________ energy  _________ energy _________ energy  _________ energy Mechanical Thermal Chemical Light Mechanical Sound

24 Looking at Real Examples of Energy Conversions: FAN
What is the source of energy of this object? The source of energy for a fan is electrical energy What is the purpose of the object? The purpose is to cool you off – the moving blades do this! Does any other form of energy get produced also? A fan produces sound energy (the “bzz” of the moving blades) and thermal energy (from the motor) What energy conversions are taking place here? _________ energy  _________ energy Electrical Mechanical Mechanical Sound Electrical Thermal

25 Looking at Real Examples of Energy Conversions: Create Your Own!
At the bottom of your notes today underneath your steps for identifying Energy Transformations, describe your own example of an energy conversion that we have not yet discussed. Then, take a few minutes to share your energy conversion. Fellow scholars: if you think that a scholar has missed or incorrectly identified an energy conversion, raise your hand to respectfully correct them and make you sure you explain!
