1 Energy Occurs in Many Forms TEKS 5.8A
2
2 The student knows that energy occurs in many forms. The student is expected to: A. Differentiate among forms of energy including light, heat, electrical, and solar energy
3
3 Energy Energy is what makes things happen. It is the ability to move or change matter..
4
4 Energy Energy comes in many forms such as heat, electricity and light and can be transformed from one kind to another.
5
5 Source of Energy The sun is the source of almost all of our energy on Earth. This energy is called solar energy.
6
6 Forms of Energy FormExplanation Heat EnergyEnergy measured by temperature LightEnergy that travels in waves that you see SoundEnergy that travels in waves that you hear ElectricalEnergy caused by the flow of electric charges through a conductor SolarEnergy that comes from the Sun in the form of heat or light
7
7 Energy Transformation 1.Plants use light energy from the sun to make food. The light energy has been transformed and stored in the plant matter.

9 Energy Transformation 3.The fossil fuels are burned releasing stored energy in the form of heat.
10
10 Energy Transformation 4.The power plant transforms the heat energy into electrical energy.
11
11 Energy Transformation 5.The electrical energy is moved from the power plant to a home. When a lamp is turned on, the electrical energy is changed to light and heat energy.
