Homework: Well
done those that
completed this
weeks!
Lesson objectives
By the end of this lesson I will be able to:

• Recall the different types of energy stores and transfers.

• State the conservation of energy.

• Describe what energy transfer takes place in everyday life.

 TYPES OF ENERGY
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
LIGHT ENERGY
SOUND ENERGY
KINETIC ENERGY
THERMAL ENERGY
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY
CHEMICAL ENERGY
NUCLEAR ENERGY
 ELECTRICAL ENERGY

This is a very useful form of energy,

because it can be converted or changed
into other forms. Wherever there is
current flowing, there is ELECTRICAL
ENERGY.
 LIGHT ENERGY
Anything LUMINOUS gives off LIGHT
ENERGY. Things like the Sun,
lightbulbs and candles give off light.
 SOUND ENERGY
Anything noisy (like you!) gives off
SOUND ENERGY. Eg. Vocal chords,
speakers and musical instruments.
 KINETIC ENERGY
KINETIC ENERGY is another name for
movement energy. Anything that
moves has KINETIC ENERGY.
 THERMAL (HEAT) ENERGY
Everything has some heat energy – even
blocks of ice! The hotter something
is, the more THERMAL ENERGY it
has.
 GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL
ENERGY
Anything that is above the ground has
POTENTIAL ENERGY. This means that
anything that can fall has
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY.
 ELASTIC ENERGY
Anything stretched has
ELASTIC POTENTIAL
ENERGY eg. Rubber
bands, springs, clothes
elastic.
 CHEMICAL ENERGY
When chemical bonds are broken they can
release energy. The energy stored in
these chemical bonds is called CHEMICAL
ENERGY eg.food, fuels and batteries.
 NUCLEAR ENERGY
Energy is stored in the nucleus of
atoms. When the nuclei are joined
together or split apart, NUCLEAR
ENERGY is released. Eg. Sun, nuclear
power plants.
What type of energy is stored in a coiled
spring?

A. Sound
B. Kinetic

C. Elastic
✔
D. Gravitational
What type of energy is stored in baked beans?

A. Sound
B. Gravitational

C. Chemical
✔
D. Elastic
What type of energy is stored in coal, oil and
natural gas?
A. Light
B. Heat
C. Sound

D. Chemical
✔
Law of conservation of energy
 Example of an energy transfer

Input energy Device Transferred to ....

Electrical Sound
energy and light
 energy transfer circus

Input energy Device Transferred to ....

Try these energy transfers
• 1) An airplane taking off on a runway.

• 2) A washing machine cleaning some clothes.

• 3) A human eating food and then running.

• 4) A battery connected to a light bulb turning it on.
