Science Today we learned about the different forms of energy. Here are some of the vocabulary words we talked about today: chemical energy: The energy stored on the chemical bonds of molecules that it released during a chemical reaction. Chemical energy holds molecules together and keeps them from moving apart. For example, a car engine uses chemical energy stored in gasoline, and moving people use chemical energy from food. electrical energy: Electrical energy exists when charged particles attract or repel each other. Television sets, computers and refrigerators use electrical energy. energy: The ability to do work. kinetic energy: The energy of motion. For example, a spinning top, a falling object and a rolling ball all have kinetic energy. The motion, if resisted by a force, does work. Wind and water both have kinetic energy. light energy: Visible light energy, such as from a light bulb or fireflies or stars, is just one form of electromagnetic energy. Others forms include infrared and ultraviolet light. mechanical energy: Mechanical energy is energy that can be used to do work. It is the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy. potential energy: Potential energy is the energy stored by an object as a result of its position. A roller coaster at the top of a hill has potential energy sound energy: Audible energy that is released when you talk, play musical instruments or slam a door. Homework

Read 30 minutes Queen's Park The students were absolutely amazing on our trip to Queen's Park Today. I was so proud of them. The best part for me was when they all came back to school and excitedly asked to watch the Legislature live at 3:00. They were so excited to see where they had been and know what was going on. I have a feeling I will never see anyone as excited to watch the Legislature ever again :-) Go to our Google Classroom to see some pics of the day.
