THERMAL ENERGY BY KELSEY NEMETH ANDREENA SAKA MRS. PYREK’S CLASS

DEFINITION OF THERMAL ENERGY IS THE ENERGY THAT COMES FROM THE MOVEMENT OF ATOMS OR MOLECULES.

CHARACTERISTICS THERMOMETER TRANSFERRING • USE A THERMOMETER TO MEASURE THE MOVEMENT OF ATOMS. • ENERGY CAN MOVE AND TRANSFER • CLICK VIDEO FOR MORE INFO • HEAT WARMS COOL OBJECTS • HEAT CAN TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES

THERMOGRAPHIC IMAGES MEASURE HEAT INSIDE MATTER SHOWS CHANGES IN SURFACE HEAT IT IS RADIATION RED/ORANGE IS HOTTER BLUE/GREEN ARE COLDER DIFFERENT COLORS ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HEAT

ATOMS AND MOLECULES • WHEN ATOMS OR MOLECULES MOVE, IT CAUSES THAT OBJECT TO WARM UP BECAUSE THE PARTICLES ARE MOVING FAST. • THE BIGGER AN OBJECT

CONDUCTIO N CONDUCTION IS THE FLOW OF HEAT WHEN OBJECTS TOUCH OR ARE INSIDE THE MATTER. CONDUCTORS : IRON,

CONVECTIO N THE FLOW OF HEAT IN CURRENTS THROUGH GAS OR LIQUID.

RADIATION THE FLOW OF HEAT GIVEN OFF IN LITTLE BUNDLES (DISTANCE).

WHAT ENERGIES MAKE THERMAL ENERGY? ELECTRICAL LIGHT/SOLAR CHEMICAL/NUCLEAR GEOTHERMAL

SOLAR ENERGY • SOLAR POWER COMES FROM THE SUN • THE SUN HAS LIGHT BUT IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF HEAT • SOLAR PANELS MAKE ENERGY. THEY COLLECT LIGHT AND HEAT. • PEOPLE NEED THE SUN TO SURVIVE • WHEN COOL AIR AND HEAT FROM THE SUN MEET , THEY MAKE WIND. • BIG ENERGY RESOURCE • SOLAR ENERGY IS AN ALTERNATIVE FORM TO USE FOR POWER INSTEAD OF FOSSIL FUELS WHICH CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING THE EARTH IS WARMING BECAUSE OF ALL THE FOSSIL FUELS BEING USED. GREENHOUSES REDUCE THE GLOBAL WARMING THE ICECAPS ARE MELTING BECAUSE OF ALL THE HEAT WE NEED TO STOP

EXAMPLE S HEAT GIVEN OFF ENGINE HOT COCOA A POT ON A STOVE FIRE

WEATHER IS THE HEAT TO MAKE SOMETHING GROW OR IS GIVEN OFF IN A NATURAL HABITAT. WEATHER IS ASSOCIATED WITH A

Click play on video for more info FRICTION IS MADE WHEN ATOMS AND MOLECULES RUB TOGETHER THAT IS STATIC ELECTRICITY THAT MAKES HEAT. EX SOFT/ROUGH MATERIAL RUBBING

CONCLUSION AFTER ALL OF THESE SLIDES, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THERMAL ENERGY IS IMPORTANT AND IS CAUSED BY THE MOVEMENT OF ATOMS AND MOLECULES.
