Energy Forms and Conversion
“CLUES” – Types of Energy • Kinetic Energy • Gravitational Potential Energy • Elastic Potential Energy • Chemical Energy • Thermal Energy • Electrical Energy • Nuclear Energy • Radiant Energy
Kinetic Energy • Energy of motion • Examples: KE = ½*M*V2
Gravitational Potential Energy • Stored energy that depends on an object’s height • Examples: GPE = M*g*H
Thermal Energy • Energy of heat • Examples:
Chemical Potential Energy • Stored energy in chemical bonds in compounds • When released, energy can do work • Examples:
Elastic Potential Energy • Stored energy of a compressed or stretched object • Examples:
Electrical Energy • Energy associated with electrical charges • Examples:
Nuclear Energy • Energy stored within nucleus of an atom • Examples:
Radiant Energy • Energy that travels through space in waves • Electromagnetic Spectrum • Examples:
Sound • Form of kinetic energy • – movement of energy through substances in the form of waves
Energy Conversion Cards • Front: • Form of Energy • Back: • 3 examples On either side include: • Picture of one of the examples

A squirrel is walking along a telephone wire and then he falls off.
I stretch a rubber band, aim it at a student, and let it go.
A cloud is full of water. • Eventually, raindrops fall from the sky.
Person is standing on a diving board. • They jump off.
A nuclear reactor is used to make electricity. • I plug in a fan and turn it on.
I plug in an electric blender and turn it on. • Then I eat the delicious milkshake.
The sun causes carrots to grow. • A bunny eats the carrots and hops around.
