Hei Mahi: Discuss these questions with your neighbour. I will get all groups to contribute something.
1) What do you think 'energy' means?
2) What types of energy do you know?
What is Energy?
What is Energy?
Success Criteria: I can identify different types of energy and state the unit for energy as the Joule.
Energy is the ability to do work. Work is what allows objects to move or change their state. The more energy something has, the more work it can do.
The unit for energy is Joules (J).
There are two types of energy: active and potential energy.
Active energy
Active energy
Energy that’s making something move or change.
Heat energy
Light energy
Sound energy
Electrical energy
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Potential energy
Energy that is stored. It needs to be transformed into an active energy to make something move or change.
Chemical potential energy
Magnetic potential energy
Gravitational potential energy
Elastic potential energy

Do Now:
Hei Mahi in your book:
1) List all of the food and/or drinks you have consumed today.
2) List all of the physical activities you have done today.
3) Which activities do you think involved more energy?
Using Energy
Using Energy
We all need energy (that we obtain from our foods in the form of chemical potential energy) in order to complete tasks. In other words, energy is required to do work.
Some foods contain more energy than others. Some activities require more energy than others.
Energy is measured in joules (J).
What have you got to do to burn off the energy from this burger?
Calculating the Energy in Food
Calculating the Energy in Food
Success Criteria:
I can investigate how energy content can be measured in food.
I can make simple energy calculations when given the formula.
The amount of energy in an item of food can be found by burning the food and using it to heat up a sample of water (transforming the chemical potential energy into heat energy).
The change in temperature of the water indicates the amount of energy in the food sample.
This is the equation you use to calculate the amount of energy in food.
's' is the heat capacity of water, which is the amount of energy needed to heat 1 g of water 1°C.
