<strong>Energy</strong> Basics<br />
In the video, demonstrations are presented which outline the basics of energy.<br />
Use the information presented in the video to complete the following organizers<br />
about energy.<br />
TEMPERATURE AND KINETIC ENERGY<br />
materials used: thermometer, chocolate milk, blender<br />
demonstration diagram: draw the set-up of the experiment<br />
what happened?the increase in energy raised the temperature of the milk<br />
RELEASING POTENTIAL ENERGY<br />
materials used: water, small bag of unsalted, shelled peanuts, cork, needle, large<br />
coffee can with ends removed, soup can, can opener, hammer, nail, metal BBQ skewer<br />
demonstration diagram: draw the set-up of the experiment<br />
what happened?burning the peanut released its potential energy, converting<br />
it to kinetic or heat energy, heating the water<br />
CALCULATING KINETIC ENERGY<br />
materials used: basketball, golf ball, tennis ball, ramp, stopwatch<br />
demonstration diagram: draw the set-up of the experiment<br />
what happened?kinetic energy equals .5 times mass times velocity squared<br />
