NATURAL SCIENCE: UNIT 6. ENERGY

Hello guys!

I hope you are all fine! Today we are going to talk about ENERGY.

Think of these questions before listening to your teacher:

- What is energy?

- How is energy produced?

- How do we obtain energy?

- What are the properties of energy?

- What are the types of energy?

If you have already thought about these, then you can listen to the teacher's instructions:



- What is energy?
Energy is anything that has the capacity to produce a change in matter.


- How is energy produced?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transferred from one object to another. 




- How do we obtain energy?
We obtain energy from two sources: RENEWABLE and NON-RENEWABLE.

Renewable energy referes to all these limitless energy sources present in nature. For example, the wind, sunlight or seawaves.

Non-renewable energy referes to all limited energy sources that we exhaust with use, like coil and oil. 




- What are the properties of energy?
There are 4 properties:
1. Energy is transformed.
2. Energy is stored.
3. It is transferred.
4. It is transported.

- What are the types of energy?
  • Thermal energy which is transferred with heat.
  • Mechanical energy is created by two objects owing to their movement.
  • Electric energy is carried by electric currents.
  • Chemical energy is found in substances like food or fuel.
  • Light energy that is present in the light. 
  • Eolic energy that comes from the wind.
  • Hydraulic energy that we obtain thanks to the flow of water. 


Today's HOMEWORK is optional. 


You have to compare and contrast the different sources of energy: RENEWABLE and NON RENEWABLE. Please, say the advantages and disadvantages you can find in both of them.You can use this template:




If you do this homework, remember to send it to Jose and me by CHAT. 

AND REMEMBER, LEARNING IS FUN!
