Study Notes
- The lesson focuses on energy and its related concepts
- The lesson is for Wednesday of Week 1
Learning Objectives
- By the end of the lesson, you will understand that energy is the ability to do work
- By the end of the lesson, you will identify that force is a push or pull movement that causes work in action
- By the end of the lesson, you will identify that all living and non-living things have some form of energy
- You will be successful if you can define and explain the terms work and force
- You will be successful if you can identify work in action
- You will be successful if you can classify different forms of energy from daily life
Key Concepts
- Energy is defined as the "ability to do work"
- Energy explains how objects change or move
- Energy is needed to move the rope in tug-of-war, for example
- In science, work is the action that results when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
- Force is a push or pull upon an object, occurring because of an interaction with another object
Definitions
- Energy = the ability to do work
- Force = a push or pull
- Work = the action that results when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
Forms of Energy
- Energy allows you to do things like run, jump, and throw a ball
- You need energy to survive; for breathing, keeping warm, thinking, and digesting
- Everything that moves or produces heat requires energy
- Examples of things requiring energy: Laptops, TVs, and cars
- An object has energy whenever it can cause a change
- Most objects have energy in some form
Energy in Making Toast
- Electrical energy: powers the toaster
- Heat and light energy: released by the heating elements
- Kinetic energy: of the toast as it springs up
- Elastic potential energy: of the springs in the toaster
- Gravitational potential energy: of the toast in the air
- Chemical potential energy: stored in the toast
- Sound energy: sound released when the springs release
