This document discusses the different forms of energy including mechanical, heat, chemical, electrical, and gravitational energy. It defines energy as the ability to do work and explains that there are two states of energy: potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is energy in motion. The document aims to teach students about the various types of energy and provide examples of each.

2. Make Up of Energy
Energy is all around you!
 You hear energy as sound, you see energy as
light, you can feel energy in wind
 Living organisms need energy for growth and
movement.
 You use energy when you kick a ball, catch a ball,
or even lift a grocery bag.
THEREFOR: ENERGY IS THE ABILITY TO DO
WORK.

3. Other Forms of Energy
5 main forms of
energy:
 Mechanical Energy
 Heat Energy
 Chemical Energy
 Electrical Energy
 Gravitational Energy

4. Mechanical Energy
 Mechanical Examples:
Energy: is the  Water in a waterfall
energy of motion  Wind
that does the work.
 Moving Vehicles
 Sound

5. Heat Energy
 Heat energy: is Examples:
energy that is  Friction
pushed into motion  Sun (also known as
by using heat. thermal energy)
 Radiation
 Fire

6. Chemical Energy
 Chemical Examples:
Energy: is energy  Digesting food,
caused by chemical bonds are broken to
reactions. A good release energy for
example of chemical the body to store
energy is food when and use
it is cooked.  Photosynthesis
 Using energy to play
sports

7. Electrical Energy
 Electrical Examples:
Energy: is when  Power lines carry
electricity creates electricity
motion, light or heat.  Electrical motors
 Light (X-rays, radio
waves, laser light
etc.)
 Lightning

8. Gravitational Energy
 Gravitational Examples:
Energy: is motion  Water that is pulled
that is caused by down a waterfall
gravity.  The pull felt when
you jump up that
forces you to come
back down.

9. Learning Goals
 What is energy?
 Can energy be transferred from one
object to another?
 What are the different forms of energy?

10. States of Energy
There are two states of energy:

11. Potential Energy
 Potential Energy: is stored energy.
Examples of potential energy are oil
sitting in a barrel, or water in a lake in
the mountains. This energy is referred to
as potential energy, because if it were
released, it would do a lot of work.

12. Kinetic Energy
 Kinetic Energy: is energy that is in
motion. Moving water and wind are good
examples of kinetic energy. Electricity is
also kinetic energy because even
though you can't see it happen,
electricity involves electrons moving
in conductors.

13. The Lighter Side of Energy
 What would a barefooted man get if he
steps on an electric wire?
(Answer) A pair of shocks.
 Wind power is very popular because it
has a lot of fans.
 What would you call a power failure?
(Answer) A current event.
 What's the best way to charge a car
battery?
(Answer) With a credit card.

14. Assignment!!!
 Identify the 5 TYPES of energy.
 List at least two different examples of
the 5 main TYPES of energy.
 State the two FORMS of energy.
 List an example for each of the FORMS
of energy
