Heat Energy Transformations

Today’s lesson: • • • There are many forms of energy Energy can be changed from one form to another Thermal energy is the total energy of the moving particles in a solid, liquid or gas.

Energy: Is the ability to make objects move.

Example: The energy in fuel for cars.

There are 10 forms of energy!

1. Thermal Energy: Total energy of moving particles in a solid, liquid or gas generated by heat.

2. Chemical Energy: Energy stored in matter such as food and fuels.

2. Magnetic Energy: The energy that causes some types of metal to attach or push away from other metals.

4. Light Energy: A form of energy that our eyes can detect.

5. Gravitational Energy: Stored energy an object has when it is above the Earth’s surface.

6. Electrical Energy: Energy of particles moving through a wire or through an electrical device.

7. Elastic Energy: Energy stored in objects that are stretched, compressed, bent or twisted.

8. Sound Energy: Form of energy we can hear.

9. Mechanical Energy: Energy of objects in motion.

10. Nuclear Energy: Stored at the center of particles of matter. Nuclear power plants produce electricity from nuclear energy.

Chemical energy – thermal energy Energy Transformation: Changing from one form of energy to another.
