'I have lots of energy to run around'

Scientific meaning:
Energy is an invented (abstract) idea that can be understood as a job-doing capability.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
Energy is associated with systems in the process of change.
Energy can be stored, such as in coal, petrol or gas. ]]> 2018-05-17 03:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/261446198 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/261557712 Common usage:
'The power has gone out'

Scientific meaning:
Power is the rate at which
energy is transferred, used or transformed]]> 2018-05-17 12:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/261557712 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148830 Common usage:
'I will transfer the ball from one hand to the other'
Scientific meaning:
Energy can be transferred from one place to another, either in a stored form (e.g. coal) or as electricity through wires and cables. Electrical energy is transferred when it travels from power stations to homes to devices like your computer.  ]]> 2018-05-20 05:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148830 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148840 Common usage:
'The frog was transformed into a prince'

Scientific meaning:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. For example, movement energy is transformed into electrical energy in a wind farm. Transforming forms of energy such as movement or heat into electricity is known as generating electricity. ]]> 2018-05-20 05:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148840 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148844 Common usage:
'We have a solar hot water system'
Scientific meaning:
The word solar means relating to or coming from the sun. The sun gives out light and heat energy. Scientists have designed photovoltaic cells which can transform the sun's energy into electrical energy. Photovoltaic cells are arranged in a solar panel. ]]> 2018-05-20 05:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148844 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148848 Common usage:
'My grandfather worked on the snowy hydro scheme
Scientific meaning:
The prefix hydro means relating to water. Hydroelectricity is a new word which means generating electricity from running water. The movement energy of dammed rivers can be transformed into electricity.  ]]> 2018-05-20 05:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148848 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148873 Common usage:
'It's been such a hot summer - it must be climate change!'
Scientific meaning:
Human activities, including burning coal to generate electricity, emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This increases the natural greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases absorb heat from the earth. Climate change refers to changes in temperature and weather patterns due to this human-created greenhouse effect. Rapid changes in the earths temperature and weather patterns is having unpredictable and disastrous impacts on environments, animals and human societies. ]]> 2018-05-20 05:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/262148873 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/263855576 Common usage:
'Our company is investing in renewable energy'
Scientific meaning:
Energy from the sun, wind, running water, waves, and heat in the earth are readily available to humans to transform into electrical energy. These sources of energy are known as renewable energy. Non-renewable sources of energy, such as coal, gas and petrol, are in limited supply. Although energy from non-renewable sources cannot be destroyed it is dissipated into the atmosphere as light or heat as it is transformed into electricity and is no longer accessible to humans.]]> 2018-05-27 12:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/263855576 katewebb10 https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/263855592 Common usage:
'We need to stop burning fossil fuels'
Scientific meaning:
Fossilised remains of organic material such as oil, coal and gas store energy and can be burned to release their stored chemical energy which can then be transformed into electrical energy in a power station. ]]> 2018-05-27 12:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katewebb10/nrqcsjmm6qs6/wish/263855592
