It's about movement. This goes with running, punching, and riding a car or roller coaster. Anything that moves or is forced to move is mechanical energy. Collisions, buoyancy, or gravity counts as mechanical energy.

Electricity

Electrical energy is used to power up items like lights or computer. We can use this type of energy to make things move or create light. This energy is charged by electrons.

Light

Light is very useful for solar power and visibility. We can find this type of energy from our lamps or the sun.

Chemical

chemical energy comes from what we eat (a.k.a food). The calorie from the food is what makes us energized and ready to do something.

Mrs. MJ said, "Can energy change?"

305586_2 — 2024-02-12 20:30:11 UTC

Well, yes. According to PHeT lab that we did, when we put light energy into the solar panels, it turns into electric energy. Many other examples use water as mechanical energy to electric.

Though, the PHeT lab and other provable sources can prove this question.

Thermal

Thermal energy is about heat. It comes from places like the oven, stove lava, and fire. We use this a lot to keep us warm. This is also used for other energy sources to make light.

This is a placeholder so the Padlet doesn't break.

Sound

305586_2 — 2024-02-12 20:40:34 UTC

Sound energy can be heard using our ears. This energy type can actually make things move when it is strong enough. Let’s say a speaker or a motor. These things can make sound and can be heard using our ears. Many people like this type of energy because of some music and sound.

Energy

Energy is the ability to work. Like making things move, emit light, etc. This can affect everything. Everything around you, even you (that’s why I selected that image), is affected by energy.

law conservation of energy

155819_17 — 2024-02-12 22:06:14 UTC

Same thing with the conservation of mass and matter, energy cannot be created or destroyed by anything. But can be transformed into different types of energy.

Thank you for reading!

By Adrian and Elijah.

Mrs. MJ, "Can energy be created or destroyed?"

305586_2 — 2024-02-13 20:39:19 UTC

No, it cannot be created of destroyed. This goes with the law of conservation or energy. But can be changed.

Energy transformation

305586_2 — 2024-02-13 20:46:54 UTC

Energy transformation is an energy changing from one form to a another. For example, when the light energy hits the solar panel, the light energy changes to electrical energy.

Energy transfers

155819_17 — 2024-02-13 20:47:16 UTC

Energy transfer is an energy transferring to another object. For example, in the PHeT lab, you can use items to change energy like biking and light bulbs. You can see the energy traveling to other items from the person to the generator, to the light bulb.

Can an object transfer more than one type of energy?

305586_2 — 2024-02-15 04:21:50 UTC

Probably not. In the image, The kettle is releasing two types of energy (thermal and mechanical). The generator is only collecting one type of energy, which is mechanical. This generator cannot collect thermal energy.

Energy Flow

305586_2 — 2024-02-15 04:57:26 UTC

When looking at this image from the PHeT lab, you’ll see it in specific order.

It begins by the sun, which emits light energy all around. It will soon hit the solar panels which will change the light energy to electric energy. As it travels more into the wires, the energy will turn into mechanical energy which makes the fan move.
