Ex, chords to a computer
 Charged particles can build up on an object. This created stored electrical energy (static electricity)

Ex, A hammer has mechanical energy because it moves to hammer a nail

Ex, A speaker is so loud that you can feel the vibration

Ex; heat of a fire

Ex, the sun, x-rays, phone screen, radio waves

Ex, The bonds between atoms in food and fuel store a lot of chemical energy

MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343746646 Energy is the ability to do work. If a object has energy it is doing work. Energy is split into 2 categories potential and kinetic energy. When an object has potential energy, it has potential to have energy, for example a battery. If an object  has kinetic energy it is energy in motion.
Ex, Bike riding up hill.  ]]> 2021-03-23 16:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343746646 What is The Law of Conservation of Energy? MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343749536 The Law of Conservation of energy means that energy can nether be created or destroyed.
Instead, energy can only be transferred from one form to another.]]> 2021-03-23 16:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343749536 What is work? MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343752313  Work is applying force, to move or change something. Something that has energy can apply a force. 


Ex, Pulling/pushing a heavy box.]]> 2021-03-23 16:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343752313 Can energy change? MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343761276 Energy can change from one form to another. There is 6 main energy types electrical, mechanical, sound, thermal, light/radiant, and chemical energy. All these forms of energy  can be changed from one to another. 


Ex, When you switch on a lightbulb, electrical energy changes to thermal and light energy.]]> 2021-03-23 16:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343761276 Can an object have more than one type of energy? MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343764983 An object can transfer more than one energy. This goes hand in hand with "can energy change." 


Ex, When you have a campfire, there is 2 types of energy, light and thermal.]]> 2021-03-23 16:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1343764983 How does energy flow in a system? MayaSmallwood https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1358025240 In a system energy flows and changes form. In the picture below you can see that in this system the sun's rays are producing light energy. Then the light energy is absorbed by the solar panels then converted into electrical energy. After that the electrical energy converts into thermal energy and evaporates.]]> 2021-03-26 16:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MayaSmallwood/z5k3v3yt7wiev8ay/wish/1358025240
