Energy Transformations is when energy is passed from one type to another.
There are 8 types of energy:
1. Kinetic - moving
2. Chemical Potential - energy from food/fuel
3. Heat - temperature giving energy Hot = lots Cold = not
4. Light - waves of light - visible (can see) or x-ray
5. Gravitational - effect of gravity pushing down
6. Elastic Potential - stretches to load up energy
7. Electrical - anything using power
8. Sound - waves can hear eg. voice, vibrate
Today we made a cannon and after we have done making we take it outside and shoot marshmallows.
The marshmallows started as elastic potential energy and when it shoots it was kinetic energy and then it changes to a gravitational and then it changes back to kinetic energy.
Hi Sereybuth,
ReplyDeleteIt is great you see you notes on the definitions and some of the energy transfers of the marshmallow cannon. Can you please add the slide animation you have been working on :)
