Types of Energy

We are learning about all the different types of energy. There are 8 different types of energy. Energy transformation is when a energy is transferred from one type of energy to another type of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed we just transform it one one type of energy to another. 

Light energy: From x-rays to visible lights. (when you could get an x-ray and the light energy shows the bones)

Heat energy: Heat energy is produced by the movement of particles quickly. (the sun is a form of heat energy)

Sound energy: Vibrating particles cause sound. (bell sound from a microwave)

Kinetic energy: Allows an object to move. ( driving a car )

Electrical: Found in anything that uses electricity. ( batteries )

Gravitational: Found in objects high off the ground. (dropping your phone)

Chemical Potential Energy: Found in chemicals. (food)

Elastic energy: found in stretched things. (a rubber band being flicked across the room)

This is an example of what would happen if you put a balloon on the end of a cup with its bottom cut off what would happen to the marsh mellow and what types of energy is happening with the marsh mellow.
