Learning objective:

9Pf.03
Know that energy is
conserved, meaning it
cannot be created or
destroyed.
 Learning outcomes for Day 1

• find out what energy is.

• learn about different energy stores
and transfers.
• discover some ways that energy
can be stored more easily than
others.
 Starting activity…

The Lighting Candle

1. Where does the energy for the candle flame come

from?
2. In which form does candle wax store energy?
3. What happens to the chemical energy stored by the
candle wax as the candle burns?
4. What happens to the total energy in the room as the
candle burns?
 Lets learn… What is energy?

Energy is something that must

be changed or transferred in
order to do something.
• There are many different ways
that energy can be stored or
transferred.

• The unit for measuring the

amount of energy is called the
joule (J).
 Lets learn… What is energy?

Energy can be classified whether if is stored or transferred:

Types of Energy

1. Kinetic Energy
• energy stored due to
movement of an object.
• store
• “energy in motion”
 Lets learn… What is energy?

2. Chemical Energy
• energy stored in food,
batteries, chemical fuels
such as wood, oil and coal.
• store
3. Elastic potential Energy
• energy stored when things
are stretched or squeezed
to change their shape
• store
 Lets learn… What is energy?

4. Gravitational Potential Energy

• energy stored when an
object is lifted away from a
source of gravity
• store
5. Thermal Energy
• heat energy stored in hot
objects and transferred to
colder objects.
• Store or transfer
 Lets learn… What is energy?

6. Electrical Energy
• the flow of current in a
circuit transfers electrical
energy .
• transfer
7. Sound Energy
• energy transferred from
vibrating objects.
• transfer
 Lets learn… What is energy?

8. Light Energy
• visible energy from
luminous objects (objects
that give out their own
light) that you can see .
• transfer
