Energy transformations

 Hey everyone welcome back today we were looking at energy transformation I hope you enjoy my blog post have a wonderful day, Good-Bye 


What is energy transformations?

It is when energy is passed from one type to another.


There are eight types of energy these are the energy's

1. Kinetic- it is what makes things move

2. Chemical Potential- It is the energy from food and fuel 

3.Heat- It is the amount of energy based on temperature 

4. Light- Waves that are reflected so that is what makes you see light 

5. Gravitational- Its the effect of gravity pushing down 

6. Elastic potential- It is anything that you can stretch so it loads up with energy 

7. Electrical-Anything that used power 

8. Sound- waves can hear 


Marshmallow cannons

steps

Step 1. Cut the base out of a cup

Step 2. Stretch a balloon 

Step 3. 1/2 way down the balloon neck cut it 

Put the balloon over where you cut the hole. 

Then enjoy using your Marshmallow cannon 


What energy's were used. 

The energy's that were used where 

Sound energy - This energy was used by when we pulled the balloon and let go it made a big bang 

Elastic energy- We used elastic energy because we had to stretch the balloon out

Gravitational potential -Gravitational was used because when the marshmallow fell down it was gravity pulling it down 

Kinetic- This one was used by when the marshmallow was moving 


What we did the them 

We took our cannons out side and launched the balloons with the marshmallows in them 



Here is what we learnt about energy as a animation when we used the cannons

  1. Awesome work Nici! It is great to see your definitions written in your own words. Your explanation of the marshmallows energy transfers is great :) I enjoyed your animation demonstrating what happened.
