Define energy.
Definition should include
- energy as the ability to produce change or do work
- the difference between kinetic and potential energy
- the difference between energy and power
- energy – the capacity to do work
- power – the rate at which work is done
- energy is derived from the use of such forms as thermal, mechanical, or chemical resources.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are examples of kinetic and potential energy?
- What is the difference between power and energy? What are examples of each?
- What are examples of energy doing work? How is the rate of power measured?
