LAW OF ENERGY CONSERVATION

 What is Energy?

Energy is ability to do work or

create motion. There are many
different types of energy like kinetic
energy, the energy of motion and
potential energy, the energy of
position in relation to an object.
 The Law of Conservation
of Energy
Energy cannot be created or
destroyed. It can only be changed
from one form to another.
Let's take a look at some examples we
can find in our world!

Can you see where all the energy goes?

 Swings
A swing has potential energy that
converts to kinetic energy as the
person swings down and then back to
potential energy at the highest point of
the swing, and the total amount of
energy remains constant.
 Riding a Bike
Riding a bike involves energy transfer as the
person's muscles provide kinetic energy to the
pedals, which then transfer the energy to the wheels
and the ground, propelling the bike forward.
Burning Wood
When wood is burned, the
chemical energy stored in the
wood is transformed into heat
and light energy. The total
amount of energy before and
after the burning is the same.
 Hydroelectric Dam
A hydroelectric dam demonstrates how
energy can be transformed. Water with
potential energy flows downhill,
converting to kinetic energy, and turns
a turbine to generate electrical energy.
Newton's Cradle
Potential energy in the first ball becomes
kinetic energy as it collides with the second
ball, and the energy is transferred through
the series of balls. Conservation of energy
ensures the total amount of energy in the
system remains constant despite transfer
between potential and kinetic energy.
Jumping on a Trampoline
Jumping on a trampoline involves
transferring your energy to the
trampoline, which then bounces
you back up. The energy is
transformed from your body to the
trampoline and then to your
upward motion.
 Solar Panels
Solar panels convert sunlight into
electrical energy. The energy from
the sun is transformed into electrical
energy. People put solar panels on
their roofs to capture the energy and
use it to power their homes.
