Energy
Forms and Conversion
ENERGYthe ability to do work
WORKis done when you
use a force to cause motion
WORKa force is moved
through a distance
“CLUES” – Types of Energy
• Kinetic Energy• Gravitational Potential Energy• Elastic Potential Energy• Chemical Energy• Thermal Energy• Electrical Energy• Nuclear Energy• Radiant Energy
Kinetic Energy
• Energy of motion• Examples:
KE = ½*M*V2
Gravitational Potential Energy• Stored energy that depends on an
object’s height• Examples:
GPE = M*g*H
Thermal Energy
• Energy of heat• Examples:
Chemical Potential Energy
• Stored energy in chemical bonds in compounds
• When released, energy can do work
• Examples:
Elastic Potential Energy
• Stored energy of a compressed or stretched object
• Examples:
Electrical Energy
• Energy associated with electrical charges
• Examples:
Nuclear Energy
• Energy stored within nucleus of an atom
• Examples:
Radiant Energy
• Energy that travels through space in waves
• Electromagnetic Spectrum• Examples:
Sound
• Form of kinetic energy• – movement of energy throughsubstances in the form of waves

To change from one form to another
Remember the 8 forms of energy…
• A squirrel is walking along a telephone wire and then he falls off.
• I stretch a rubber band, aim it at a student, and let it go.
• An electric toaster is used to make toast.
• A parked car begins to roll down the hill.
• You jump up on a trampoline.
• You plug in the microwave and turn it on.
• A cloud is full of water. • Eventually, raindrops fall from the
sky.
• You flip on a light switch and the lights come on.
• Sunlight makes a flower grow.
• You eat a Power Bar before running the mile.
• A coal-burning power plant produces electricity.
• Person is standing on a diving board.
• They jump off.
• A Roller Coaster goes up and down hills.
• Gasoline in a car is burned and the car moves.
• You light the coals in a grill, then cook a hotdog.
• A nuclear reactor is used to make electricity.
• I plug in a fan and turn it on.
• I plug in an electric blender and turn it on.
• Then I eat the delicious milkshake.
• The sun causes carrots to grow.• A bunny eats the carrots and hops
around.
• A basketball rebounds off the rim and hits the ground.
