energy heat kinetic energy light Copy the list of words Look for a
relationship among the words in each list. Cross out the word in
each list that does not belong with the others. Circle the word in
each list that is a category that includes the others. Explain how
the word you circled relates to the other words in the list, and
how the word you crossed out does not fit in the list. What are a
few examples of the second word sort where energy is absorbed or
released during an interaction? Share your thoughts with the class.
Read the introduction and look for key ideas Can you follow the
transforming energy?
Most of the energy found here on Earth can be traced all the way
back to the Sun. View the energy event cards Complete the procedure
and record your data Which cards are relevant to home energy
efficiency?
How does the Law of Conservation of Energy relate to the home? How
does energy transformation relate to the home? Discuss your
thoughts with the class. Analysis question 1 Copy the lists of
words.
Look for a relationship among the words in each list. Cross out the
word in each list that does not belong with the others. Analysis
question 1 Copy the lists of words.
Circle the word in each list that is a category that includes the
others. Explain how the word you circled relates to the other words
in the list, and how the word you crossed out does not fit in the
list. Analysis question 2 The diagram below shows the transfer of
energy from the Sun all the way to a student using a computer.
Using the table on the previous page, decide on the type of energy
at each of the situations.There may be more than one energy type at
each place. SCORING GUIDE: Understanding Concepts Can you follow
the transforming energy?
Solar panels Key vocabulary definitions
Chemical energy A type of potential energy where the energy is
stored in the bonds of atoms. Elastic energy Potential energy that
is stored by stretching or compressing. Key vocabulary
definitions
Electrical energy Electrical energy stored by the buildup of charge
(electrons or ions). Gravitational potential energy Energy stored
due to an objects mass and height. Heat The movement of thermal
energy from hot to cold. Key vocabulary definitions
Kinetic energy Energy of motion. Light - A type of kinetic energy
that is transferred by the rapid movement of electromagnetic
fields. Nuclear energy - A type of potential energy that is stored
in the nucleus of an atom. Key vocabulary definitions
Potential energy Energy of position or stored energy. Sound - A
form of energy that is transferred through air, water, and many
solid materials by the vibration of an object. Key vocabulary
definitions
Thermal energy Energy that is transferred from a warm object to a
cooler object.
