Energy Transformations - When energy is passed/changes from one type to another.
There are 8 types of energy
1. Kinetic - Allows movement.
2. Chemical potential - Energy that can come from either food or fuel.
3. Heat - Temperature giving energy. (Hot = lots) (Cold = not a lot)
4. Light - Waves of light - Visible (can see) or Xray
5. Gravitational - Effect of gravity pushing down.
6. Elastic potential - Something that stretches to load up emery.
7. Electrical - Anything that uses power/electricity.
8. Sound - Energy you can hear.
Steps -
Get a plastic cup
Cut the bottom of the cup
Get a balloon
Stretch it out
Cut half the bottom tip of the balloon
Tightly put the cut balloon onto the bottom of the cup
Put a small marshmallow in and fire away!
Types of energy we used for this experiment -
Elastic energy.
Kinetic energy. - Gravitational energy.
Sound energy.
Conclusion -
As the balloon stretched out the marshmallow prepared to fly! The marshmallow came out and flew high in the air, it slowly fell down afterwards.
Hi Faye,
ReplyDeleteGood work! I really like how you added the steps and an image of what the marshmallow shooters were like. I noticed that chemical energy does not have a definition. Chemical energy- energy from food, or fuel. Examples are food giving people energy, and petrol in cars.
Please can you add the slide animation of your marshmallows motion :)

Hi Miss Abernethy,
DeleteI updated my work, and fixed up my blog. Thanks for the feedback and hope you like it!
