TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY
Like gravity and friction, sound, heat, light, and electricity are other forms of energy that may
be explained in terms of movement of smaller objects. Sound is a form of energy produced by
hitting two objects together or by vibrating objects, like strings of guitar. When you speak, sing or
hum, your vocal chords vibrate. Without any medium, sound cannot travel. Heat or thermal energy
is the energy from the moving molecules or tiny particles in matter. It is transferred from bodies of
higher temperatures to bodies of lower temperature. Light is an energy that is transported and
produced by vibrations of exceedingly small particles in matter through electromagnetic (EM)
waves. The sun’s energy travels as a visible light, the only EM wave that can be seen by the naked
eyes. Electricity is an energy when electrons move from one atom to another. Atoms are basic
building blocks of matter that make up everything. Electrons are small particles that spin around the
center of the atom holding a negative (-) charge while protons are particles in the center of an atom
that hold a positive (+) charge.

Look at the illustration of an atom below. Name the different

particles found in the atom. The two particles of an atom found in the
center of it are (1) ____________ and (2) ___________. While the
particle (3) ______________ constantly spins around the center of an
atom is called (4) ________________. Electricity is produced whenever
electrons move from one atom to another. When objects are rubbed
against each other, the electrons of their atoms have the tendency to
move from one atom to another. How electrons move depends on the
electron attraction of the atoms. Some objects like metals share electrons
easily while some like plastic and rubber do not. Objects that share electrons easily are conductors
and those that do not share electrons easily are insulators. Materials that may or may not share
electrons are called semiconductors. Semiconductors are often used in electronics
