FQ: 1)What is energy?
2)How many types of
energy do you think we
have?
P: (IN PEN)
Date
energy – the ability to do work;
makes change possible
kinetic energy – the energy of an
object when it is in motion
potential energy – the energy an
object has because of where it
is or how it’s made; stored
energy
elastic potential energy – a
stored or compressed
(to squeeze together) energy
electrical energy – an energy
that uses the power of
electricity
chemical energy – (potential) Energy
that can be released (or absorbed)
because of a reaction between a
set of chemical substances
mechanical energy – the sum of
potential and kinetic energy; energy
associated with the motion and
position of an object
gravitational energy – potential
energy associated with the
gravitational field

FQ: How is wind energy
made?
P: (IN PEN)
Read “The Great Energy Debate” R/WW 410-413
How might our dependence on fossil
fuels change in the future?
Read “Energy Island” Anthology 496-515

What are some pros & cons about
geothermal energy?
How are they using the power?
Windmill vs. Wind turbine
wind – created by the uneven
heating of the earth; it helps
with daily needs and activities
global winds – a type of wind
that happens because of the
rotation of the earth movement
around the sun and the shape of
the earth
local winds – winds that generally
travel short distances and can
blow in any direction
turbines– devices that convert
kinetic energy into mechanical
energy; wind power plant
C: Wind energy is a renewable energy made from the uneven heating of the earth. Wind turbines are devices that use wind to make electricity.

Watch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGlYTcCYas8
solar – latin word for sun
photovoltaic – solar panels that
gather the sun’s energy and
creates electricity
photo - light
C: Solar energy is a renewable energy from the sun. The sun can produce heat energy(thermal), photosynthesis (plants) or electrical energy (photovoltaic).

What are some pros & cons about
geothermal energy?
How are they using the power?
Geothermal electricity
thermal –
Latin
word for
‘heat’
geothermal energy –
heat energy created by
magma in the earth
C: Geothermal heat is a renewable resource, because the world keeps making more heat. It is a thermal energy that can be turned into mechanical energy.
This source of energy is easy to gather near volcanic areas, such as in the “Ring of Fire”.

Marcellus shale gas –
natural gas that is taken
from the shale located in
the Appalachian Basin in
the Northeast Region.
C: Natural gas is a non-renewable resource that has chemical potential energy. It is the gas that is produced from the decay of dead plants and animals. It is trapped in the earth for millions of years. This energy is used to heat, cook, and make products. *Call 811 before you dig, so you do not damage utility lines, such as natural gas!

Nuclear Energy Date
FQ: How is nuclear made?
P: (IN PEN)
nucleus – the core around
which other things gather
nuclear power plant – a
place that produces
nuclear energy
uranium – a mineral whose
atoms can split easily
nuclear energy – energy that
can be released from nucleus
atoms. The release of this
energy can be used to
generate heat energy. The
heat energy will be
converted into mechanical
energy, which will make
electrical energy.
Shippingport nuclear power plant
makes snow for all of those to the
east of it.
C: Nuclear power is a
non-renewable resource
that has chemical
potential energy &
mechanical potential
energy.
