Follow the Energy: Understanding Energy Transformations

In this activity, students will explore the transforming nature of energy through various examples and categorize them. They will identify words or phrases that do not belong to certain energy concepts while recognizing those that connect. By examining the Law of Conservation of Energy, students will learn that energy is never created or destroyed but instead transformed. Through hands-on activities and discussions, they will connect theoretical knowledge to real-world phenomena, such as the transition of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy in a falling water scenario.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Read page D-29 Activity 58

  2. Activity 58 • Title: Follow the Energy • Problem: Can you follow the transforming energy? • Initial Thoughts:

  3. On a separate piece of paper write the title: Introduction to Activity 58 Copy These Lists Down • Cross out the word or phrase that does not belong. • Circle the word or phrase that includes the others on the list. • Note: There may be more than one correct answer to a single word sort.

  4. Law of Conservation of Energy List 1 • Roller coaster • Gravitational Potential Energy • Transformation • Chemical Energy • Kinetic Energy Why does this work?

  5. Law of Conservation of Energy List 2 • Absorb • Release • Energy • Interaction • Height Why does this work?

  6. Law of Conservation of Energy List 3 • Potential Energy • The Law of Conservation of Energy • Energy Transfer • Energy Transformation • Efficiency Why does this work?

  7. READ THE PROCEDURE!

  8. Activity 58 Introduction: Energy is never created or destroyed. It is possible to follow energy transfer through many transformations. Most of earth’s energy can be traced back to the Sun which emits electromagnetic energy (light).

  9. Energy Cards Each Pair will get 2 Cards  as you finish with each card, pass it to the right until the teacher tells you to stop. We will share our answers as a class.

  10. Gravitational Potential Energy Water falling over the dam loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy, until at the bottom it has been transformed into kinetic and some sound energy. Kinetic (motion, sound)
