Chemistry: Types of energy

Types of energy 

Intro: 

We are learning about types of energy  and energy transformation. 

1. Heat energy:

- Energy produced by quick movement of particles. 

2. Kinetic energy:

-  Allows anything to move.

3. Sound energy:

- Anything you hear(sound). (vibrating particles that cause sound).

4. Light energy:

- Light that is visible.

5. Electric energy:

- In things that use electricity 

6. Elastic energy:

- In things that are stretched 

7. Chemical potential energy:

- Found in food(chemicals).

8. Gravitational energy:

- Things that are high above ground.

Energy Transformation: 

Energy does not be created or destroyed, it just moves from one type to another = transformation.

Example: Marshmallow cannons: 

1. Cut the base off a cup(polystyrene).

2. Cut  a balloon 1/2 way down the neck(of the balloon).

3. Stretch balloon.

4. Carefully put balloon over base of cup.

This is  a animation of how a marshmallow cannon works.
