Types of Energy Date WOLF 498-499; 538-539 FQ: 1)What is energy? 2)How many types of energy do you think we have? P: (IN PEN)
energy the ability to do work; makes change possible kinetic energy the energy of an object when it is in motion potential energy the energy an object has because of where it is or how it s made; stored energy
elastic potential energy a stored or compressed (to squeeze together) energy electrical energy an energy that uses the power of electricity
chemical energy (potential) Energy that can be released (or absorbed) because of a reaction between a set of chemical substances mechanical energy the sum of potential and kinetic energy; energy associated with the motion and position of an object
gravitational energy potential energy associated with the gravitational field WATCH Study Jams Energy & Matter
Elastic Potential Electrical Chemical (stored energy) Mechanical (movement) Gravitational Potential (gravity)
Elastic Potential Electrical Chemical (stored energy) Mechanical (movement) Gravitational Potential (gravity) Stretched rubber band Lighting Coal Bike that s being ridden Glass about to fall off a table Compressed spring Shock from static Natural gas Person jogging Water at the top of Niagara Falls Bungee cord Computer Sports drink Rolling skateboard Water behind a dam Balloon filled with air Video game Broccoli Water in a stream Ball at the top of its bounce
C: Kinetic and potential energy make work possible. Energy can be found in almost anything. Energy is never lost.

Windmill vs. Wind turbine
wind created by the uneven heating of the earth; it helps with daily needs and activities global winds a type of wind that happens because of the rotation of the earth movement around the sun and the shape of the earth
local winds winds that generally travel short distances and can blow in any direction turbines devices that convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy; wind power plant
C: Wind energy is a renewable energy made from the uneven heating of the earth. Wind turbines are devices that use wind to make electricity.

Geothermal Energy WOLF 462-463; 501 Date FQ: What do you think geothermal energy is? P: (IN PEN)
Geothermal heating
Video: Renewable Geothermal Energy (8 min.) Where is the video taking place? What are some pros & cons about geothermal energy? How are they using the power?
Geothermal electricity thermal Latin word for heat
geothermal energy heat energy created by magma in the earth
C: Geothermal heat is a renewable resource, because the world keeps making more heat. It is a thermal energy that can be turned into mechanical energy. This source of energy is easy to gather near volcanic areas, such as in the Ring of Fire.

Natural Gas Fuel Date FQ: 1) How do you use natural gas at home? 2) What do you think natural gas is made of? P: (IN PEN)
Marcellus Shale http://extension.psu.edu/naturalresources/water/youth/shale-gas-drilling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0kms kvjft0 WATCH 811 video Discuss. Make map. Energy Safe Kids packet.
Marcellus shale gas natural gas that is taken from the shale located in the Appalachian Basin in the Northeast Region.
C: Natural gas is a non-renewable resource that has chemical potential energy. It is the gas that is produced from the decay of dead plants and animals. It is trapped in the earth for millions of years. This energy is used to heat, cook, and make products. *Call 811 before you dig, so you do not damage utility lines, such as natural gas!

Nuclear Energy Date FQ: How is nuclear made? P: (IN PEN)
nucleus the core around which other things gather nuclear power plant a place that produces nuclear energy uranium a mineral whose atoms can split easily
nuclear energy energy that can be released from nucleus atoms. The release of this energy can be used to generate heat energy. The heat energy will be converted into mechanical energy, which will make electrical energy.
Shippingport nuclear power plant makes snow for all of those to the east of it.
C: Nuclear power is a non-renewable resource that has chemical potential energy & mechanical potential energy.
