An item with energy, can preform work. 

'Work' is applying force to change or move something. So something that has energy, can apply a force.

Many people label the main types of energy differently, so for now, we'll say Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, Sound, and Chemical.]]> 2023-02-09 17:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2475366599 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201125 Eletrical energy is carried by charged particles. Eletrical is also called electricity. Charged particles can build up on an object. Electricity controls our light power, Technology, eletrical cars, 
and many other things.

So we call it 'radiant energy', and radiant evergy can be found everywhere.
It's light so, the sun, a lamp, your phone produces light.]]> 2023-02-15 22:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201181 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201225 You may have heard 'thermal' in many places, for example, you may have learned about "thermal vents" of the deep sea in school, they're very hot vents on the deep sea floor. 'Thermal' energy is mostly associated with temperature, warmth & heat, usually. Thermal energy increases the faster the atoms of an object move around, in other words, it occurs through vibration, like sound.]]> 2023-02-15 22:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201225 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201271 Sound energy is energy carried by sound waves, sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel thought matter,(solid, liquid, gas). we hear sound every where ]]> 2023-02-15 22:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201271 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2484201326 Chemical energy is energy stored within bonds between atoms and matter. The bonds between atoms in food and fuel store lot of of chemical energy.

  For example the blowing wind applies force to leaves, trees, you're homework that should have been completed indoors. It can be found in bicycles as the mechanical parts move, even a hammer is used [move] a nail. Inventions with movement known as [mechanical] devices, because they posses [mechanical] energy]]> 2023-02-16 16:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2485273823 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503305789 And now, an important question is asked; CAN ENERGY CHANGE?.
  Yes, energy can change, or in another word, transform. Energy transforms all the time, for example, if I said the sun's power is the same that is powering the device you're reading this on right now, would you believe me? And let's assume you don't have solar panels on your home, or school. How does Radiant energy become Electrical energy? 
  For starters, you may have know that most plants need sun to grow, they need [radiant energy]. And when an animal eats it, let's say dinosaur, it becomes [chemical energy]. And now, in modern times, we use fossil fuels for many things, one being electricity. And 'electricity' sounds familiar, yes, electrical sockets, what you computer, or phone plugs into to charge- gaining [electrical energy]. 
  So in short, Sun (radiant) -- plants (chemical) -- animal (chemical) -- fossil fuels (chemical)-- your home appliances (electrical)]]> 2023-03-04 05:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503305789 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503323187 Just like energy can transform, change, it can also transfer, meaning it can move. From one source to another. For example, in the example above, chemical energy was stated twice. This is because it just transferred from the plant to the dinosaur, rather than changing to a different type of energy.]]> 2023-03-04 06:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503323187 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503335385   In science, a 'law' isn't a rule you have to follow or get in trouble, it means a fact that hasn't been disproved in any way. Conservation means to keep something the same. For example, conserving the population of an endangered species. Although in this case, it's energy. So all together, the Law of Conservation of Energy means that no energy can be lost or destroyed, nor can it be made up, or created. It can only be transformed and transferred. This is very important to know when learning about energy, because it can't just stop existing, it must go somewhere. 
  For example, when you ride a bike, the chemical energy in your body becomes mechanical as you move the bike. However, if you've noticed how your body gets hot when you're active, it's because you're also producing thermal energy. And unless you're riding bike to get hot and sweaty, the thermal energy is unintentional. Which is called a "byproduct".]]> 2023-03-04 07:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503335385 1226513 https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503341356   Now that you know about Energy transfer, can an object transfer more than one type of energy? 
  Let's think of a campfire. It's hot, gives off light - and sound. That's three types of energy right there: [thermal energy], [radiant energy], and [sound energy]. Another example is YOU, us humans can produce sound, heat, motion. ]]> 2023-03-04 08:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1226513/x9pol5yf426o7o8a/wish/2503341356
