__There are many different types of energy: mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, and nuclear.__
 * Mechanical**- Energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
 * Thermal**- Total energy of the particles in an object.
 * Chemical**- Potential energy stored in chemical bonds the hold chemical compounds together.
 * Electrical**- Moving electrical charges produces electricity, or electrical energy.
 * Electromagnetic**- Energy that travels in waves.
 * Nuclear**- A type of potential energy stored in the stored in the core, or nucleus, of an atom.
 * Acoustic**- traveling sound waves.


 * chemical ideas:**
 * light with battery
 * baking soda and vinegar
 * food

cans meter stick light wires fan batteries spoon ruler Our flashlight worked because we had one wire going from the bottom of the second battery and the bottom of the light bulb. We used a paper clip to help turn the flashlight on and off. We also put a penny in between the two batteries to help conduct the electricity. We put a toilet paper roll on the outside of the batteries so the wires wouldn't be exposed.

 * Flashlight Lab:**

We learned that because of friction the ball that was rolling on the track had to stop eventually and couldn't go on forever. Also, we learned that when a ball hits another ball some of it's energy is transferred, so that both of the balls are rolling.
 * What we learned:**

In our Rube Goldburg project the ball rolls down the meter stick and hits the cans, then the cans hit the wheel and it knocks over the colorfull stick, then the colorfull stick hit a battery and light up and light and it also hits a ruler and that ruler hits the second ruler with the stamp on it and the stamp hits the hand. In our project we have gravitational potental energy, kinetic, electrical, chemical, electromagnetic, and accostic. If we had more time to work on this project we would have tried to make it work a little better by adding more energy types, more energy conversions, and make it more detailed.
