Day 3: Forms of Energy

Forms of Energy1. All energy falls into two categories:• Potential: stored energy and

energy of position• Kinetic: motion of waves,

electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.

2. What Forms of Energy Are There?

POTENTIAL KINETIC

Chemical EnergyNuclear EnergyGravitational Energy

Radiant EnergyElectrical EnergyMechanicalSoundThermal Energy

How will we ever remember these?!

Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.

Cam= Chemical

Newton= Nuclear

Got= Gravitational

Really= Radiant

Excited= Electrical

Making= Mechanical

Stinky= Sound

Tacos= Thermal

1. Cam=Chemical

Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries

•Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.

2. Newton= Nuclear• Energy stored

in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together. Example: Breaking

down Uranium

3. Got= Gravitational• Energy of

place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy.

Example: two plants at different heights

4. Really= Radiant

•Electromagneticenergy that travels in waves like light.

Example: Visible Light

5. Excited= Electrical

•Movement of electrons.

Example: lamp, computer

6. Making= Mechanical• The

movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion.Example: Riding a

7. Stinky = Sound

•Movement of energy throughsubstancesin waves.

Example: bell

8. Tacos= Thermal

• The vibrationor movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.Example: stove boiling water
