Energy

Trang 3What is energy?
Energy
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change
Work is when force causes an object to move Most of
our energy comes from the Sun The Sun heats Earth
The Sun’s light energy makes plants grow
We use many other forms of energy too Sound
energy comes from a CD player Chemical energy runs
a car’s engine Electrical energy runs many things in
this kitchen
3
Stored Energy
Stored energy is potential energy It can change
into another kind of energy to do work or cause a change
Fuel, such as natural gas, has potential energy
Long ago, plants made food using energy from the Sun The plants died and turned into fossils that are used as fuel When we burn this fuel, we free potential energy Work is possible
When you use batteries, you release potential energy The stored energy in food, fuels, and batteries
is chemical energy
Batteries and gasoline both contain stored energy.
Trang 4Energy of Motion
Potential energy can change to kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion A car burns
gas The potential energy stored in the gas changes to
kinetic energy The car moves
5
A skier rests at the top of a hill He has potential energy Then he slides down the hill His potential energy changes to kinetic energy
A skier uses a lot of energy But he can replace it
by eating food The gas a car burns to create energy cannot be easily replaced “Fossil” fuels, such as gas, are not renewable

How does energy
change form?
Changing Forms of Energy
Energy changes from one form to another all the
time Your body stores potential energy in the form
of chemical energy This chemical energy changes to
kinetic energy when you move
Using Energy
The kinetic energy of your arm cannot make
a light bulb burn bright But it can be used to flip a
light switch This changes
electrical energy to light
energy But not all the energy
gets changed Some energy
is given off as heat The light
bulb gets hot

People use machines to change forms of energy too An electric toothbrush sits in a base that plugs into an electric outlet The toothbrush’s battery stores electrical energy as chemical energy The chemical energy changes to electrical energy when you turn on the toothbrush The electrical energy then changes to mechanical energy as the toothbrush moves
Trang 6Ways That Energy Travels
Energy can move from one place to another
A moving object, such as a ball, has energy You
can feel the energy when you catch the ball
Energy can also travel as waves The waves are
shaped similar to the waves on a moving rope Look
at the rope on the next page It is moving from side
to side Energy makes this happen It moves from one
end of the rope to the other
Light and other forms of kinetic energy move as
waves Bigger waves carry more energy
8
Ocean waves carry energy.
9
Parts of a Wave
How much energy does a wave have? How far the wave is from its midpoint shows its energy You measure the distance from the midpoint of the wave
to the high or low point of the wave The top of a wave is called a crest The bottom is called a trough
Wide waves have lots of energy Narrow waves have less energy
You should also look at the length of a wave The wavelength can be the measurement from the top of one crest to the top of the next crest Short waves have more energy Long waves have less energy

Trough Distance from
midpoint of wave

Trang 7What is heat energy?
Heat Energy
Matter is made up of moving particles Particles
move because they have energy The energy of moving
particles in matter is called thermal energy.
Thermal energy moves as heat It moves from hot
things to cool things Put a spoon into a hot drink
Heat from the drink moves through the cool spoon
Soon the spoon is as warm as the drink The flow
of energy stops when the drink and spoon are the
same temperature
11
Sources of Heat
Heat is given off when energy changes from one form to another The burner under the pot below changes electrical energy to heat A burning match changes chemical energy to heat
Try rubbing your hands together The friction caused by rubbing gives off heat There is heat every time energy moves
A burning match
is very hot!
Heat moves from the water to the frozen vegetables.
Trang 8Effects of Heat on Matter
Heat energy affects matter You can measure the
effect of heat on matter Put some ice out in a room
that is steady at a temperature above 0ºC (32ºF)
Look at the ice a few times during the hour Measure
and record the amount of ice that has melted Record
the time when all the ice has melted Record the
temperature Time is one way to measure how this
heat energy changed the ice
How has this ice changed?
13
Water evaporates if more heat is added to it The water turns into a gas called water vapor Liquid water changes in another way at 100°C (212°F) Heat makes the water boil The water takes up more space when
it boils Then it evaporates and becomes a gas Hot bubbles of gas float to the top of the water Hot water droplets called steam come out of the bubbles
This water is boiling Some
of the water is leaving as steam.
Trang 9What is light energy?
Sources of Light
Most energy comes from the Sun The Sun’s energy
reaches Earth as waves The waves have different
amounts of energy Some of these waves affect us We
can see and use light energy
Chemical changes also make light Gas in the lamp
below gives off light as it burns The fish below gives
off light too Chemical changes in the fish’s body
make light
14
The lamp and this fish are both a source of light.
Electricity gives us light It makes the wire in a light bulb hot The hot wire glows and gives off light
Most things that give off light give off heat too
The Path of Light
Light moves in all directions from where it starts
It moves away from its source in straight lines Light moves this way until an object stops it Light cannot
go around objects Objects that get in the way of light’s path cause shadows
15
Trang 10How Light Changes
Not all objects block light Light can pass through
some things, such as a window
All objects reflect light This means light bounces
off the object and moves in a different direction Some
things, such as a lake, reflect light better than other
things Why? They have flat and smooth surfaces This
makes the reflected light move in the same direction
16
Mountains and
trees are reflected
in this lake.
17
Look closely at the picture below The drops of water
refract, or bend, light This makes the light change
direction This can change the way things look Each drop of water refracts light from the flower Little pictures of the flower form as the light bends
Trang 11Light passes through things at different speeds This
causes the light to refract Light moves more slowly
in water than air The straw in the glass below looks
broken because the water slows down and bends
the light
Refraction can cause light to separate When this
happens you can see a rainbow A rainbow shows the
many colors of light
Why does this straw appear broken?
19
Light is made of many colors When light hits
objects, they absorb some of the light To absorb
means to take in The rest of the light is reflected
Things absorb and reflect different colors of light If something looks white, it is reflecting all the colors of sunlight If something looks black, it is absorbing all the colors of sunlight Absorbed sunlight often turns to heat This is why dark objects feel warm in sunlight
Green light has changed this white chicken to a green chicken.
Trang 12What is electrical energy?
Electric Charges
Matter is made up of particles that have electric
charges An electric charge is a small bit of energy
An electric charge can be positive or negative Matter
with mostly negative charges has a negative charge
Matter with mostly positive charges has a positive
charge Matter with the same number of negative and
positive charges has no charge
This balloon has no charge It does not attract any pieces
of paper.
21
Positive and negative charges attract The negative charge moves toward the positive charge You may get a shock when you touch a person If so, negative charges jumped between the two of you
The attraction between opposite charges can make things stick together That’s why paper sometimes sticks to a balloon
The same charges repel each other Objects with the same charge push each other away
This balloon has a charge
It attracts pieces of paper with an opposite charge.
Trang 13Electric Currents and Circuits
Electric current is the movement of electrical
energy or electric charge from place to place
Lightning is an electric current that moves in any
direction Electric current must follow a path
to be useful Electric current can make lights and
CD players work The path that a controlled electric
current flows through is an electric circuit Energy
cannot flow if the path, or circuit, is broken Look at
the picture below The switch must be closed for the
electricity to flow
Electricity flows through the circuit to light the light bulb when the switch is closed.
