types of energy

red: the 8 types of energy. 

black: what it is. 

blue: example. 

we are learning about types of energy and energy transformation 

1.Heat Energy. 

-produced by the movement of particles quickly. 

• When the burner of a stove top is very hot, it is a source of heat energy

2.Kinetic Energy.

-allows  anything to move.

• walking, falling, flying, and throwing.

3.Sound Energy.

-anything you heat. 

• Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates, which results in noise.

4.Light Energy.

-from x-rays to visible light. 

• Sunlight is the best example for light energy.

5.Electrical Energy.

found in anything that uses electricity.

•  electrical energy to charge our phones, and our muscles using electrical energy to contract and relax

          

6.Elastic Potential Energy.

-found in stretched things. 

• The coil spring of a wind-up clock. An archer's stretched bow. A bent diving board, just before a divers jump.

7.Chemical Potential Gravity.

-found in chemicals (food). 

• A raised weight,water that is behind a dam, a car that is parked at the top of a hill 

8.Gravitational  Energy

-found in objects high off the ground. 

•  A book on a table before it falls. A child at the top of a slide.
