1. Energy

2. Partner Talk: What is Energy?
Where have you heard the word energy before? What do you think it means? Give examples of energy from everyday life.

3. Fill in your notes as you read.

Fill in your notes as you read.
(We will go over the correct answers, so don’t worry if you can’t fill in everything. Fill in what you can so that you have less to write down later.)

4. Notes: What is Energy?
Energy is the ability to do work or cause matter to change.
Examples of energy in everyday life:
hitting a baseball
holding a book above your head
digesting food
heating water

5. Two Types of Energy: Kinetic Energy Potential Energy

6. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion.
It depends on the mass and speed of a moving object.
Formula: KE = mv2/2

7. PARTNER TALK Apply the formula KE = mv2/2 to the following scenarios:
A smart car and a semi-truck are driving down the road at equal speeds. Which has more kinetic energy and why?
Two cars of the same size are driving down the road. One is going 50mph and one is going 75mph. Which one has more kinetic energy and why?
A 1000kg car is driving 80m/s. What is its kinetic energy in Joules?

8. Examples:

9. Potential Energy
Potential Energy is the energy an object has from its position or shape.
Potential energy is stored energy in an object.

10. Examples:
COMPRESSIONAL GRAVITATIONAL ELASTIC

11. Potential Energy
An object with potential energy has the ability to move, change, or do work.
Formula (gravitational potential energy):
PE = weight x height

12. PARTNER TALK
Apply the formula PE = weight x height to the following scenarios:
Mrs. Johnson is going to drop an object on your head. Would you rather it be a ping pong ball or a golf ball? Why?
Why would it hurt more to drop something on your foot from higher up than from closer to your foot?
What is the potential energy in Joules of a 100 N object lifted to a height of 10 meters?

13. How are Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy related?
Energy can be transferred from potential to kinetic energy.
If an object has more potential energy at first, then it will have more kinetic energy when it starts moving.

20. Card Sort
For each card, decide if it is an example of potential energy, kinetic energy, or both. Make 3 piles on your table.

21. Partner Talk Review What is potential energy? What is kinetic energy?
Give an example of each.

22. #4 – Energy Conversions & Conservation
Read pp and pp
Answer the following questions in your spiral:
Give an example of kinetic and potential energy being converted back and forth.
Give an example of chemical energy conversion.
Give an example of electrical energy conversion.
What is a reason that not all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy on a rollercoaster? Why isn’t all kinetic energy converted to potential energy?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Why is perpetual motion impossible?

23. Forms of Energy All energy falls into two categories:
Potential: stored energy and energy of position
Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.

24. Forms of Energy POTENTIAL KINETIC Chemical Nuclear Gravitational
Radiant
Electrical
Mechanical
Sound
Thermal

25. How will we ever remember these?!
Use this memory aid: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.

26. Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal

27. 1. Cam=Chemical Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries

28. 2. Newton= Nuclear
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together.
Example:
Breaking down Uranium

29. 3. Got= Gravitational Energy of place or position.
Higher = more gravitational energy.
Example: two plants at different heights

30. 4. Really= Radiant
Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light.
Example: Visible Light

31. 5. Excited= Electrical
Movement of electrons.
Example: computer, phone

32. 6. Making= Mechanical
Movement of a substance from one place to another.
Example: Riding a bike

33. 7. Stinky = Sound Movement of energy through substances in waves.
Example: bell ringing

34. 8. Tacos= Thermal
The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.
Example: boiling water`
