  1. How many can you think of ? Energy Types

  2. Light Energy Light Energy from the Sun can be used to generate electricity. SolarFurnaceatOdeillo Font-Romeu, France

  3. Light Energy Solar Powered calculators use photovoltaic cells to capture Light Energy A Crooke’s Radiometer spins in Sunlight

  4. Light Energy Plants use Light Energy to make food in a process called Photosynthesis This horse relies on food made by plants. In fact all life on Earth relies on Light Energy trapped by plants.

  5. Heat Energy Heat Energy from the Sun drives the Water Cycle and keeps us warm. It’s not just humans who like to sunbathe on sunny days

  6. Heat Energy Hot air balloons use Heat Energy to make them rise

  7. Sound Energy Sound Energy makes our ear drums move and can be converted into Electrical Energy by a microphone

  8. Electrical Energy Lightning is pure Electrical Energy We use Electrical Energy every day to make our lives easier How many uses for Electrical Energy can you think of ?

  9. Electrical Energy

  10. Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is stored in chemicals such as petrol. It is also the energy stored in batteries and the food we eat.

  11. Nuclear Energy There is energy stored in the nuclei of atoms that can be released for good or for bad…

  12. Magnetic Energy Magnetic Energy is often forgotten. But without it we wouldn’t have had any of these…..

  13. Magnetic Energy We wouldn’t have this either…. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, scanner The MRI scanner gives us pictures of inside the body

  14. Kinetic Energy Moving things have Kinetic Energy… This includes air, water and…… Lamborghinis and Tornado jet fighters

  15. Potential Energy Potential Energy is stored energy and covers all the rest…. Humpty Dumpty squashing the cat he is about to land on…. …or the Potential Energy stored in the string of this bow.

  17. Write down these notes Energy Energy is the ability to do work and is measured in Joules. Energy Types Light Energy is used in solar cells to power calculators. Heat (Thermal) Energy is used to boil water. Sound Energy allows us to hear. Electrical Energy powers all our appliances. Chemical Energy is stored in food. Nuclear Energy is the energy of the atom.

  18. Write down these notes Magnetic Energy forces the poles of a magnet apart. Kinetic Energy is movement energy. Potential Energy is stored energy. The energy in a coiled spring… the energy in a charged battery ... The energy stored in water behind a dam.
