ENERGY

Welcome to RD’s Creative Learning Center created by Rochell Duhaney. The creation of the website is to allow students to build more knowledge on their prior knowledge about Energy and its forms. 

• Did you know that there are only two types of energy?

LET’S LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW WE USE ENERGY. SIT BACK RELAX AND ENJOY THIS LESSON!!!!

Your tasks for this lesson include:

• How we use energy every day.
• Know the different forms of energy.
• Where energy comes from.

IT WILL BE FUN!!!

Before we dive into our exciting lesson today, we will watch a very informative video that will provide you with more knowledge on energy. Click on the link below to watch a video on energy: https://youtu.be/Q0LBegPWzrg

• Take notes to help you remember a few things that you need to know.

Now that you have watched the video, click on the link below to complete a fun quiz on energy to test your knowledge on what you have learnt from the video:

Evaluation: In order for you to see how much you have scored, click on “submit” button.

Once you have completed the quiz, move on to the next page. 

What is energy?

• Energy is the ability to do work.

There are two main types of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy.

There are many different forms of energy such as: heat energy, mechanical energy, light energy, electrical energy, Sound Energy, chemical energy.

Heat energy

Heat energy is created in the movement of particles that produces Heat. Heat energy increases as temperature increases. The faster the particles move, the greater the kinetic and the greater the objects energy.

For example; when you have wet clothes on the line work is done by Heat energy as the water particles move away from the clothing.

Mechanical energy

Chemical energy is energy of motion. The total energy of motion and position of an object potential energy plus kinetic energy. Mechanical energy can be all potential energy, kinetic energy, or some of each.

For example; the movie River, as the water flows it moves sticks and leaves from one place to another.

Chemical energy

Energy is stored in a chemical bond. When chemical bonds are broken, new chemicals are formed and some of it is released energy. Chemical energy is also the gasoline motorists put in cars to make them move, and in the charcoal or propane gas use to cook our food. Food is broken down and the chemical energy in it is used by your body for everything you do.

Light energy

Light energy is created by vibrating particles that create waves that travel through space and time. These waves are called electromagnetic waves. Light energy can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.

For example; Microwaves.

Sound Energy

Sound energy is caused by an object's vibrations. A vibrating object transmits energy through the air around in waves longitudinal waves.

For example; have you ever heard a door or a window rattle when loud music is played? The sound travel in waves through gases, liquids and solids, causing them to vibrate move backwards and forwards.

Electrical energy

Energy that is carried by an electrical current the movement of electrons oh, the negatively charged particles of atoms. The electrical energy used in your home can be thought of as potential energy that is used when you plug in an electrical Appliance and use it. For example; if there is a power outage and your fan is on, then it will stop working until the electricity is back.

Lesson objectives

The objectives used in the creation of this webquest are:

1. Define the term Energy.

2. List the different forms of energy.

3. Differentiate between the different forms of energy.

4. State the different sources of energy.

Cognitive: The students will build on their prior knowledge and clear up any misconceptions on Energy.

Psychomotor: Students will demonstrate what they know about energy.

Affective: Students will express their feelings through a class discussion about energy.

Social: student will socialize through role-play and class discussion
