About This Lesson
Mister O's students have a science quiz on energy forms tomorrow and he gives them a few minutes to review on their own. Let's see how they do... Energy forms: Heat energy (thermal energy): Energy from warmth Light energy: Energy from light Sound energy: Energy from sound waves Electrical energy: Energy from electricity Mechanical energy: Energy of motion, like a moving car Potential vs. Kinetic energy: Potential energy: Stored energy, like a ball on a shelf Kinetic energy: Energy of motion, like a ball rolling down a hill Heat transfer methods: Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact, like touching a hot stove Convection: Heat transfer through movement of a fluid, like boiling water Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, like sunlight Energy sources: Renewable energy: Energy sources that can be replenished, like wind and solar Nonrenewable energy: Energy sources that cannot be easily replaced, like fossil fuels.
