Transforming resources into energy

Harnessing energy for all of our needs and wants

Energy everywhere!

F L1 text Energy is all around us. Humans do not produce energy, but instead, we harness it from natural sources and convert it to energy carriers such as electricity and fuel.

We then deliver these carriers to our homes to power our lives.

Look around: We use electricity to power our light bulbs, screens and games, and to keep this building cool. We use fuel to get to the museum and natural gas to heat this space.

We don’t make energy, but we harness it from nature and convert it to carriers such as electricity and fuel, which are delivered to our homes to power our lives.

Look around you. We use electricity to power our technologies.We use fuel to travel to and from the museum.We use natural gas to heat this building.

Dawn Hall, 2017-02-14,
Correct – icons, and different than past grids. I think having the examples helps – Anna – as re review the other sections, we can see if we want to add some examples. Here we thought it might be useful to introduce the icons and associate them within the larger context of the gallery/big idea, since they re-occur in several locations throughout our module. I think it would be like another subline below in the graphic with arrow pointing to it, definitely showing it separately from the other, common definitions.

F1-2 L2 title What is energy? What is energy? Putting energy to workTransforming energy into work

F1-2 L2 text Although we may not exactly understand what energy is, we use this concept to describe an ability to do work.

We know that transforming energy from one form to another allows us and our appliances to do work.

For example, walking to school is “work.” We eat food, which stores one form of energy, and

transform it in our bodies to another form of energy that allows us to walk.

We put gas into a car, so it can move (work). We transform energy stored in gasoline to energy that powers its engine and allows a car to move ahead.

We switch on a lightbulb and transform energy carried by electricity to transform into light.

Even scientists don’t really understand what energy is, but they use the concept to describe an ability to do “work”. Transforming energy from one form to another allows our bodies, machines, and appliances to do work.

Putting energy to workImagine your visit here today. The energy stored in the food you ate today was transformed into a form of energy that allows you to walk around the exhibit – that’s work!

The energy stored in gasoline was transformed into energy that powered the engine to allow your vehicle to bring you here – that’s work!

The energy in electricity was transformed into light inside all of the bulbs you see around you – that’s work!

It’s difficult to describe what energy is, but scientists use the concept to describe a system’s ability to do “work”. Transforming energy from one form to another allows our bodies, machines, and appliances to do work.

Dawn Hall, 2017-03-08,
Agreed, I think having some examples here are very helpful. We could tie the examples back to the look around above too if we wanted.
Dawn Hall, 2017-03-08,
I want this first line to really explain well what energy is, and I don’t feel like this does it. This is simple, but almost too simple. The examples help, and I know this is the standard definition, but is there something else we can do here? I think it’s the general terms system and work – if we could explain those a bit maybe? Since the concept of work here is more than just what most people associate with work?AA: Dawn, I think you are right. This is difficult. MIT textbooks (always a good source) do not define energy, but rather go right into the examples of transformation, which makes sense. If we say “it is ability to do work” we imply shift from potential to kinetic. I added a few examples in the main message column. Here is a good explanation if the nature of energy that may also help: Energy is slippery it has so many forms and can move from one form to another. From kinetic to potential. From macroscopic kinetic to microscopic kinetic. From particle anti-particle annihilation to different particle anti-particle. From photon and ground state atom to excited state atom.Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/was-feynman-right-about-energy.483636/
Anna Adamek, 2017-03-08,
Ability, not amount. We can measure this ability, predict it and use it in formulas, but it is not exactly a quantity.
Kimberly Moynahan, 2017-03-09,
I prefer to avoid the “we” – perhaps “even scientists have trouble describing…” Or physicists?
Kimberly Moynahan, 2017-03-14,
I realize this section is too long. It’s tricky. I feel like, if they can understand work, they can understand what energy is – as you said, by example. We don’t really answer this question, so I provided a few alternatives

Some sources are renewable – they are naturally replenished as we use them. Other sources are non-renewable – once we use them, they are gone forever.

F3-0-1 L2 text Energy comes to us in our daily lives either as the energy carriers, electricity and fuel.

What is electricity? It is a carrier of energy which occurs because of the

presence of charged particles in:o all atoms and molecules. o everything that has mass. o All matter

What is electric current?o We now understand that an electric current

is a flow of this electric charge. Energy harnessed from oil, natural gas, coal, hydro,

uranium (nuclear), wind, sun, ocean, geothermal heat, biomass can be carried as electricity to power appliances and equipment

What is fuel? Fuel is a carrier of energy, made from oil, natural

gas, coal, uranium, and biomass, that can be burnt or that reacts with other substances to releases energy and power vehicles or provide heat.

Energy comes to us in our daily lives in one of two energy carriers – electricity or fuel.

How does electricity carry energy? All atoms and molecules contain charged particles. Electric current is the flow of this charge. When we harness energy from natural sources, electrical current carries that energy to us.

How does fuel carry energy? Fuel, such as oil, natural gas, coal, uranium, and biomass, burns or reacts with other substances to release energy that can be used to power vehicles or provide heat when we need it.

Dawn Hall, 2017-03-07,
Could we tie this back to the big idea by saying: when we need and want it. (instead of when we ask for it?)
Anna Adamek, 2017-03-07,
This is not correct. Fuel is not transformed into electricity. Fuel is burnt to heat water to make steam that powers a turbine, and so on, so here let’s use fuel only as heat and to power vehicles in examples

AC and DC are different types of voltage or current used for the conduction and transmission of electrical energy.” “One looks like a straight line, the other a wave; together, they power your laptop…”

It’s AC/DC! No, not the famous rock band, but the electrical current! AC and DC are two types of current flow used to transmit electricity. Alternating current (AC) flows like a wave and direct current (DC) flows in a straight line. Together they bring energy to power our devices.

Energy efficiency uses new technologies to reduce the use of fuel or electricity.

Energy conservation consists of actions we take to reduce our energy use.

To preserve those resources, we need to conserve energy and use efficient appliances.

Energy conservation – taking action to reduce energy usage, like turning off the lights. Energy efficiency – using technologies that do the job with less fuel or electricity, like using efficient lightbulbs.

F3-0-3 L3 callout Watt-hours (Wh) tell us how much electric power an appliance used over time. The more power an appliance used for a longer period of time, the higher our bill for electricity.

B - Materials - Text Grid - Transforming Resources 19 May 20233. a dam stores water in a reservoir to allow the volume to build; a dam can also help create the right head. A penstock channels water from the reservoir to a turbine (gates to penstock allow us to control the water flow, and get just the right volume). As the water falls on the turbine, the turbine spins. Spinning turbine is connected by a shaft to a generator, so as it spins, it powers the generator, which generates electricity.

Water moves through a perpetual cycle driven by the Sun. It evaporates from lakes and rivers, cools and condenses to form clouds, and falls back on earth. The hydroelectric plant converts energy of moving water into electricity without exhausting the source of energy.

The volume of water (controlled by gates) and the height from which it falls (the head) determine the amount of electricity produced. Hydroelectric power is renewable since water is not lost but continues to be part of the earth’s perpetual water cycle.
