Learning Objectives:
Heat/Thermal Energy
Anything with a temperature above absolute zero (-273C) has heat energy. That means everything has some heat energy. The hotter something is the more heat it has.
Kinetic Energy
Anything that moves has kinetic energy.
Nuclear Energy
Released only from nuclear reactions e.g. The sun and all of the stars. Hydrogen bomb (Fusion) Nuclear power plants and the Atomic bomb. (Fission)
Sound Energy
Anything noisy gives off sound energy like vocal chords, speakers and instruments.
Light Energy
Anything luminous gives off light energy, like the sun, light bulbs , candles and glow worms.
Chemical Energy
Anything with stored energy which can be released by a chemical reaction has chemical energy, things like food fuels and batteries.
Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is very useful, because its easily converted into other forms wherever there's a current flowing there's electrical energy.
Elastic Energy
Anything stretched, has elastic energy things like rubber bands, springs, knickers, elastic etc

Nuclear Sound Light Chemical Electrical Gravitational potential Elastic potential

Flows from hot objects to colder objects, e.g radiator, heater and fire.
Anything that moves has kinetic energy., e.g football in mid air, formula one car at speed, a cheetah.

Anything above the ground has gravitational potential energy i.e. anything that can fall, like ski jumpers, aeroplanes and climbers.
Anything stretched, has elastic energy things like rubber bands, springs, knickers elastic etc

Energy transfer
Energy can be changed from one form to another. For example: Chemical energy in food is converted to thermal energy and kinetic energy by our bodies. Gravitational energy in a ball is converted to kinetic energy when it falls to the ground. What other energy transfers can you think of?
What istakes place in each device? the energy transfer? What energy transfer
burning match portable torch microphone radio television catapult mobile phone chemical to heat and light chemical to heat and light sound to electrical electrical to sound and heat electrical to sound and light and heat elastic to kinetic and heat chemical to sound and microwaves (EM radiation) and heat chemical to kinetic and sound and heat
car
In all these transfers the energy is not lost, it is conserved. Energy cannot be destroyed or created.
