What we are learning
We are learning about the different types of energy and energy transformation.
8 types of energy:
- Heat energy- It gives energy to particles to move faster and create heat.
-Light energy- From x rays and visible light.
-Sound energy- Vibrating particles that create sounds.
-Kinetic energy- It allows anything to move.
-Electrical energy- Anything that uses electricity.
-Gravitational energy- Energy found in objects high off the ground.
-Chemical potential energy- Energy that is found in chemicals like food.
-Elastic energy- Found in stretched things.
Energy transformation
Energy does not get created or destroyed, it just moves from one type to another = transformation.
Marshmallow cannons
1. Cut the base off a cup.
2. Cut a balloon 1/2 way down the neck of it.
3. Stretch the balloon.
4. Carefully put the balloon over the base of the cup.
This is a demonstration of how the different types of energy transfer.

1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
