Heat/Thermal Energy

Anything with a temperature above

absolute zero (-273°C) has heat
energy. That means everything has
some heat energy. The hotter
something is the more heat it has.
 Kinetic Energy
Anything that moves has kinetic
energy.
 Nuclear Energy
Released only from nuclear
reactions e.g. The sun and all of the
stars. Hydrogen bomb (Fusion)
Nuclear power plants and the
Atomic bomb. (Fission)
Sound Energy
Anything noisy gives off sound energy like vocal chords,
speakers and instruments.
Light Energy
Anything luminous gives off light energy, like the
sun, light bulbs , candles and glow worms.
 Chemical Energy

Anything with stored energy which can be

released by a chemical reaction has chemical
energy, things like food fuels and batteries.
Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is very useful, because its easily converted
into other forms – wherever there's a current flowing there's
electrical energy.
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)
Anything above the ground has gravitational
potential energy i.e. anything that can fall, like
ski jumpers, aeroplanes and climbers.
Elastic Energy
Anything stretched, has elastic energy – things like rubber
bands, springs, knickers, elastic etc

 Law of conservation of energy
All energy transfers follow the law of conservation of energy:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed,

just changed in form.

 This means that energy never just ‘disappears’.

 The total amount of energy always stays the same,

i.e. the total input energy = total output energy.

 In most energy transfers, the energy is transferred to

several different forms, which may be useful or not useful.

 The energy that is transferred to unwanted forms of energy

is wasted.
 Energy Transfers

To describe an energy change for a

light bulb we need to do 3 steps:

1) Write down the 3) Write down

starting energy: what energy is
2) Draw an arrow given out:

Electricity Light
 Conservation of Energy
In any energy change there is ALWAYS some “wasted” energy:

e.g. a light bulb:

Electricity Light + heat

In this example HEAT is wasted – it’s given to the

surroundings. Waste energy is virtually always
heat and it’s always given to the surroundings.
 For each object write the useful energy and
All energy transfers follow the law of conservation of energy:
the wasted energy!
Useful energy transfers
Many everyday objects are designed to transfer energy from
one form into another useful form.

HOMEWORK
Due: Monday 21st February
(after half-term)

• Create a VIDEO of you demonstrating some

common energy transfers around the household.
• Make sure you fully explain what is going on in
terms of the energy stored and what that energy
is transferred into.
• You can use visual aids to help you with your
explanation (or voice over your video)
