  1. Samuel DuPont 2009 Forms of Energy

  2. Samuel DuPont 2009 What is Energy? • Energy is.. • The ability to do work

  3. Two Types of Energy • Potential • Kinetic

  4. Potential Energy • Potential Energy: • Stored Energy Can you think of any other forms of potential energy?

  5. Kinetic Energy • Energy in “Motion” Can you think of any other forms of Kinetic energy? Jumping out of a plane

  6. Samuel DuPont 2009 Are there different forms of energy? • Sound • Heat • Light • Electrical • Motion • Chemical

  7. Samuel DuPont 2009 I see the Light! • Example of Light Energy: The Sun • Question? • Does the sun also have another form of energy? • HEAT! Fun Fact: Plants use light energy to grow!

  8. Samuel DuPont 2009 Is it getting Hot in here? • Example of Heat Energy: • Burning (Fire) • Combustion is another word for Burn Question: What kind of “Work” can heat do for us? Cooking Keep us Warm

  9. Samuel DuPont 2009 Sounds like energy to me • Example of Sound Energy: Did you know: Sound energy can break things like glass Music

  10. Samuel DuPont 2009 Now this is Electric! • Example of Electrical Energy We use Electrical energy everyday! Lighting

  11. Samuel DuPont 2009 How can Energy move me? • Example of Motion Energy: Energy of Motion is Everywhere! Moves us around Build things Windmill

  12. Chemical Energy • Energy in Fossil Fuels: • Gasoline • Natural Gas • Oil • Energy in our bodies

  13. Chemical Energy • Most Chemical Energy is converted into other forms of energy: • Gasoline  Heat • Food  Motion • Other forms of energy change as well • Light  Electricity (Solar) • Gasoline  Motion (Car) • Electricity  Light (light bulb)
