6. Nuclear Energy Chemical Energy Potential Energy Elastic Energy
Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules
Nuclear Energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom – the energy that holds the nucleus together
Potential Energy
Stored energy and the energy of position
Gravitational Energy
Energy of place or position
Elastic Energy
Energy stored in objects by the application of force.

7. Kinetic Energy Radiant Energy Thermal Energy Sound Energy
Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
Thermal Energy
Internal energy in substances – vibration or movement of atoms and molecules in substances
a.k.a. “heat”
Kinetic Energy
Motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, and substances
Sound Energy
Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves
Electrical Energy
Movement of electrons
Motion
Movement of substance from one place to another

9. Energy Cards (Elementary SOE)
Cut the cards apart; clip them together
Students can use these to help show or work out energy transformations

11. Transition: Forms to Sources
Forms - How Scientists Classify Energy
Sources - Where We Get the Energy To Make Our Lives More Comfortable, Convenient, & Enjoyable

12. What Makes Wind

13. U.S. Wind Resource Map

14. Large Wind Turbines Common Utility-Scale Turbines 328’ base to blade
Each blade is 112’
200 tons total
Foundation 20’ deep
Rated at megawatts
Supply about 500 homes

15. How a Wind Turbine Operates

16. Energy from the Wind – What a breeze!
Build an Anemometer
Measure wind speed.
Compare your model to an actual wind measurement tool.
Blade Investigations
Build your turbine tower and test variables of blade construction.
Devise a design for optimal blades.

22. Energy Savers Conservation Contract The Energy I Used Today
Students start a conservation conversation at home.
Energy Tools
Monitoring and Mentoring
Students can measure energy consumption in the building like an energy auditor.
The Energy I Used Today
Saving Energy at Home and School
Students get a basic understanding of energy consumption in their day.
Conservella
Energy on Stage
Students perform a play that highlights energy conservation.

23. Educational Energy Audit
NEED's Certified Energy Manager (CEM) will come visit your school for half a day
The CEM will work with a group of students
Do a walk through of the building
Make notes about possible improvements
Register through Wizehive

24. STEM Project
Hands-on project that gets your kids thinking about energy.
Brainstorm ideas at the workshop
