﻿Types of Energy:
 * Mechanical Energy﻿: energy associated with the motion or position of an object
 * ﻿Examples are: a frog jumping or a school bus moving
 * Can occur as both kinetic and potential energy


 * Thermal Energy: the total energy of the particles in an object
 * When thermal energy of an object increases, its particles move faster
 * Can occur as both kinetic and potential energy


 * Chemical Energy: potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold compounds together
 * Examples are: in the food you eat and a match to light a candle
 * Stored in cells in your body


 * Electrical Energy: moving electrical charges that produce electricity
 * An example is like a shock from a metal doorknob
 * We rely on electrical energy from batteries to power devices


 * Electromagnetic Energy: energy such as light. Electromagnetic energy travels in waves
 * These waves have electrical and magnetic properties
 * Examples of electromagnetic energy are visible lights, ultraviolet radiation, and microwaves


 * Nuclear Energy: energy stored in the core of the nucleus of an atom
 * The two types of nuclear reactions are nuclear fission (when a nucles splits) and nuclear fusion (when two nuclei fuse)
 * Nuclear reactions release large amounts of energy
 * Nuclear reactions occur in places such as te sun and nuclear power plants

Building Ideas:


 * Chemical Energy:
 * Zuzu pet
 * Battery-powered car
 * Vinegar and baking soda


 * Electromagnetic Energy:
 * Lights
 * Radio waves
 * The Sun


 * Acoustic Energy:
 * String
 * Music
 * Slingshot


 * Mechanical Energy:
 * Ball rolling down road
 * Dominoes falling
 * Yoyos swinging and hitting each other


 * Eletric Energy:
 * Lights
 * Circuit
 * Car


 * Thermal Energy:
 * Lights
 * The Sun
 * AC (/heater)

Building Plans:


 * 1) ZuZu pet is activted and runs into a domino which tips over five other dominoes.
 * 2) The last domino falls and hits a YoYo, which hits another YoY, then that YoYo hits another (Newton ball effect).
 * 3) The last YoYo hits a lever, moving door/gate up, releasing a car.
 * 4) The car goes down winding track, eventually hitting a pressure point.
 * 5) This pressure point hits a ball which rolls down a path, eventually hitting a bumbper.
 * 6) The bumper pushes the sticker out. Tadaa!!!


 * 1) zuzu pet= chemical
 * 2) dominos= Mechanical
 * 3) yo-yos= mechanical and acustic
 * 4) lever=ecectrical
 * 5) car= mechanical
 * 6) ball= mechanical
 * 7) pressure point-sticker= mechanical

the energy in our flashlight was......

chemical= batteries electrical= the wires thermal= light eletromagnetic= the visable light mechanical= the switch

there is always potential and kenitic energy in a object the ball experment, at the top there was 100% potential energy and 0% kenetic. When the ball was at the middle there was 50-50%. The ball had the most kenetic energy whrn it was about to reach the top of the arch going up. The ball stopped rolling because it was bumping into air moluces and when the ball was moving the ball caused friction causing the ball to stop.

A hammer hits a Zuzu pet, which runs into a ball. This ball rolls down a track, hitting a HotWheels car, which runs into a switch, releasing another car. The car rolls down a ramp, hitting a softball. The softball runs into a bumper that pushes the sticker out. Huzaa!!



This video displays or project in action. It does, in fact, succeed in disposing the sticker. Our project turned out to differ from our original plans. At the start, a hammer is used to trigger the Zuzu pet's movement. It runs into a tennis ball set on a Hotwheels track. This hits a Hotwheels car, which rolls further down the track and hits a switch. This action (releasing the switch) releases another Hotwheels car which rolls down more track. Tapped to the top of the car is a block for extra mass. The car runs into a domino, which knocks down other dominoes in a line. The last domino hits a bumper that pushes the sticker out.

If we had more time, we would have added a circuit somewhere in the project for some more diverse energy(s).
