Energy Poster
Create a new journal entry entitled "Energy Definitions." Silently read this poster. Identify the two main points the poster makes and record them in your journal. 


Phet: Energy Forms and Changes

From the PhET’s Simulations site, Run now! or Download “Energy Forms and Changes” simulation (see  https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-forms-and-changes ). Click the “Energy System” tab on the left and, on the right, tick the “Energy Symbols” indicator.

From the three panels at the bottom of the simulation choose devices and construct a working Energy System. Construct at least three working energy systems.  

For each system you make, identify the different forms that the energy goes through at each step and write it in your journal.

For example:

Thermal energy from flame → heating water in teapot → steam from teapot converts heat energy to mechanical energy to turn the wheel → mechanical energy from turning of the wheel converts to electrical energy → electrical energy converts to thermal energy to heat the water




Quizlet
Once you finish with the Phet simulation, use the Quizlet flashcards to study and memorize the different forms of energy.
