https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo A Guide to the Ins and Outs of Energy en-us 2023-02-02 16:55:19 UTC 2025-10-31 11:06:43 UTC hello@padlet.com 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2466486866 Energy is the ability to do work. Work is something that can move or change something. You have energy, so you can move or change things. Other things such as your computer, a clock, your phone, even your dog have energy!

Energy can cause physical items to move or change, which means anything with energy can interact with physical items. They can also carry out actions or maintain processes.]]> 2023-02-02 17:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2466486866 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475355086 Energy transformation is when energy changes form. For example, when you turn on the lights, there is electricity transferring to the light bulb. When the electrical energy reaches the light bulb, the electrical energy transforms into light energy, and you can see the light! ]]> 2023-02-09 17:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475355086 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475365008 Energy transfer means energy can go to another place. For example, energy from the sun is called light energy, and this can transfer its energy to a plate called solar panel, and that energy is transferred and used to power your TV, your electricity and other things, in your house that you can use.]]> 2023-02-09 17:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475365008 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475367320 Chemical Energy is energy inside of particles. The world is made of up of tiny particles called molecules, and there is chemical energy inside of these particles. For example, a chicken wing has chemical energy inside of the particles that make up the chicken wing. When you eat the chicken wing, you get the chemical energy from the particles in the chicken wing.]]> 2023-02-09 17:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475367320 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475367332 The Law Conservation of Energy is that it cannot be created or destroyed. This means that no matter what you do to energy, it cannot be created nor destroyed. However, it can be changed. For example, if I eat an ice cream cone, the energy isn't gone, it is still in my tummy.]]> 2023-02-09 17:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2475367332 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2485315213 Electrical energy is energy carried by charged particles. It is also called electricity. Charged particles can even move from one place to another. This is moving electrical energy. For example, electricity travels to power your TV! Your iPad has electricity. Even YOU have electricity in your brain!

Sound energy is called by vibrations. For example, when you strum a guitar string, the string vibrates and produces sound energy. This energy transferred through the air through sound waves, and goes into your ear. Your ear transfers this energy to the brain and you can hear the music.]]> 2023-02-23 17:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492883116 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492887990 Mechanical Energy is energy of motion or position. This means that mechanical energy is when you move, lift, or change objects. For example, when you use a hammer, you move the hammer which means it has mechanical energy. It also has mechanical energy when you lift it up!]]> 2023-02-23 17:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492887990 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492892748 Thermal Energy is heat energy. When you feel heat from the AC, your skin is absorbing thermal energy. This is caused by the vibration of atoms. The more atoms vibrate, the warmer an object is. For example, when you use a campfire to cook a marshmallow, you are using thermal energy that transfers to the marshmallow to cook it.]]> 2023-02-23 17:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492892748 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492893506 Light energy is carried by light. Light usually refers to visible light. Visible light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. For example, the sun has light energy (make sure to NOT look at it). ]]> 2023-02-23 17:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492893506 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492904805 Energy can change forms. For example, when you turn on a light bulb, the electrical energy turns into light (radiant) energy. However, according to the Law of Conservation of Energy, when the energy changes, no energy is created or destroyed. Another example includes, when you use the stove, electrical energy is turned into thermal energy.]]> 2023-02-23 17:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492904805 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492908787 Energy cannot be created or destroyed because according to the law conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed. For example, when you burn wood in a fireplace, the heat energy from the burning wood is converted into light and sound energy. In this example, no energy is created or destroyed.]]> 2023-02-23 17:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492908787 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492916672 It is possible for an object to transfer more than one type of energy. For example, when you think of a campfire, the campfire is transferring both thermal energy and radiant energy. This proves that an object can transfer more than one type of energy.]]> 2023-02-23 17:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492916672 951919 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492943890 In the simulation, the chemical energy from the girl is being transformed into mechanical energy to pedal the bike. The mechanical energy from the bike is transferred to the wheel. The mechanical energy from the wheel is transferred to the generator. The generator transforms the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is then transferred to the light bulb and transforms into radiant energy, and a little bit of thermal energy.]]> 2023-02-23 18:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2492943890 4436901 https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2498273114 Yes, energy can flow through the system because energy can move and change. For example, chemical energy from the girl turns into mechanical energy, then it will flow and change to electrical energy from a generator, then it will flow and change into light energy in a light bulb.]]> 2023-02-28 16:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/951919/5fc1p44eps9mzxvo/wish/2498273114
