The Types of Energies We Want to Include in Our Sticker Dispenser

- Mechanical Energy: the energy associated with the motion or position of an object - Thermal Energy: the total enrgy of the particles in an object - Chemical Energy: potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together - Electrical Energy: the energy of moving electric charges - Electromagnet Energy: the energy of light and other forms of radiation - Acoustic Energy: the energy that is transmitted as sound waves - Nuclear Energy: The potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Ideas for Our Sticker Dispenser

- We could have a ball go down a ramp (Mechanical Energy). And then it could go into a pinwheel like thing, whcih would be a turbine for a generator. The ball would push the turbine with its gravitational energy which would power the generator, and the generator would power flashing lights to go off for about five seconds (Electircal Energy, Electromagnetic Energy, Thermal Energy).

﻿- After the ball goes through the turbine in goes down another ramp and then turns on a switch which is connected to a battery and fan which blows the sticker into the child's hand.

﻿- We could have a remote control car ( Chemical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Acoustic Energy( the sound of the car), Electrical Energy) that hits a line of dominoes ( Mechanical Energy )which hits the ball ( Mechanical Energy) to send it down the ramp to the turbine. Question #3= From the flashlight lab we learned the different energy types. The first energy was electrical energy. The electric from the battery powered the light. The light had thermal and radiant or light energy. The light was also electromagnetic energy because of the light. The mechanical energy was from our switch that was a paper clip. The battery had chemicals in it causing chemical energy. If we moved the flashlight then that is also mechanical energy. So our circuit was this. There was two batteries inside a toilet paper roll. Then we had wires conneceted to the batteries. The wires were connected to the light. Then the electricity from the battery goes through the wires to the light. Then we had the paper clip switch to turn it off and on.

Question #4= From the ﻿ Energy Track/ Energy Extravaganza we learned that the friction was the thing that had slowed down the ball. If there wasn't friction then the ball would roll forever. The ball had the most potential energy when it was at the top of the track. It had the least potential energy when it was at the bottom or middle of the track. The kinetic energy had its highest amount when the ball was in the middle of the track. If there was a ball on the track then the ball at the top would convert its energy to the ball at in the middle. If the special ball was on the track then the last ball on the end would fly off the track. This was because the special ball was a magnetic ball. The magnetic ball had another force so then that force would push the other ball off.

<span style="color: #ffa300; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">What Actually Happened: We had a magnetic track carrying a magnetic ball that went through different tracks. It was powered by two batteries in a little box we had with music and it connected to lights on the track. After it went through the tracks it hit a car that hit domino's. There those domino's hit another that hit more domino's. And those domino's hit the last car pushing the sticker down the tube.

Also, we would've had our ball hit a switch to turn on a fan to blow the sticker down a tube, however the day we had to video our project we could not find the fan. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">
