 * Definitions and Descriptions: **
 * **__Mechanical Energy__ - the energy associated with the motion or position of an object (Can occur as potential or kinetic energy). **
 * **__Thermal Energy__ - the total energy of the particles in an object. When the thermal energy of an object increaces, it will feel warmer, because the particles will be moving faster. **
 * **__Chemical Energy__ - potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together **
 * **__Electrical Energy__ - moving electrical charges produce electrical energy. We rely on this energy to power computers, lights, radios, and other electronics **
 * **__Electromagnetic Energy__ - waves that contain some electrical and magnetic properties **
 * **__Nuclear Energy__ - energy stored in the nucleas of an atom **

 * <span style="background-color: #f29caf; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Our PLAN :) - (Some energy was turned into wasted acoustic and thermal energy from wind friction throughout the project) **
 * **<span style="background-color: #f29caf; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The person will push the push here button (using Mechanical Energy) **
 * **<span style="background-color: #f29caf; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The cylinder attached to the push here button will move down and hit the forward button a remote control car (Mechanical Energy, GPE, and elcetromagnetic waver from the antenna of the remote to the car) **
 * **<span style="background-color: #f29caf; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The remote control car will move forward, and push forward a wooden block (Chemical energy-batteries, Electrical energy-circut inside the car, Mechanical energy-the car moving forward) **
 * **<span style="background-color: #f29caf; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The wooden block hit by the remote control car will move forward, and push a tennis ball down a cardboard ramp. (Mechanical energy) **

 * <span style="background-color: #07c552; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Experiment Extravoganza: **
 * <span style="background-color: #07c552; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Friction -The heat force that is caused when 2 surfaces rub against each other. **
 * <span style="background-color: #07c552; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">We learned this in our experiment: An Energy Track. There is also a percentage change in the amount of potential and kinetic energy in the ball(s). At the starting point, the ball has 100% potential energy, but that changes throughout the movement of the ball. By the time the ball stopped, it had 100% kinetic energy, and 0% potential energy, because it could go no further! Some of that potential energy was also changed to thermal energy due to friction caused by the movement of the ball(s) on the track. **
 * <span style="background-color: #f5a43d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">﻿ **
 * <span style="background-color: #f5a43d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">FLASHLIGHT PROJECT: **
 * <span style="background-color: #f5a43d; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The conversions of energy would begin with the user pushing a brass pin twoards an open wire. This would be an example of mechanical energy. That mechanical energy would then become an electrical current (electrical energy), and thermal energy. The energy would become electrical, because the movement of the brass pin would complete the circut. The mechanical energy would also become thermal, because the wires would heat up due to the completion of the electrical circut. The thermal, and electrical energy would then be turned to electromagnetic energy when the energy was used to turn on the christmas light at the top of the circut. **

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">VIDEO OF OUR PROJECT :) <span style="background-color: #e9e92b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> <span style="background-color: #e9e92b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">NOTE- <span style="background-color: #e9e92b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Our project included many kinds of energy (Mechanical, Electromagnetic, Chemical, Electrical, Acoustic, and Thermal Energy) and worked on our 1st try. When we tested our project, previously, it worked 9 out of 10 times. Also, on out video, there was a poster in the background explaining the transfers of energy.
