The Conservation of Energy Law
energy cannot be created or destroyed (it can only change forms so that energy in = energy out)
what is energy
Ok seems simple enough - energy doesn’t come out of thin air or just disappear but

Scientists define energy as the ability to do work
Energy is found in different forms: such as light, heat, sound and motion

Kinetic Energy: Energy of Motion
KE = ½ mv2
m is mass
v is velocity (speed)

Which object has the most KE ?

Potential Energy: Stored Energy
PE = mghm is massg is gravity (acceleration)h is height above the earths surface

Kinetic energy also includes electricity & heat
Potential energy includes chemical sources (fuel & food)
but…………….

To use energy we change energy from one form to the next…….
This allows us to do stuff!

Engineers and Scientists are trying to find new materials/designs to convert electrical energy more cleanly and efficiently.
Batteries are an important technology for energy conversion (electro-chemical)
How much electricity does a light bulb use? 100 WattsHow much electricity does a microwave use? 1500 WattsHow about the world? 16,000,000,000,000 Watts

So what can we do with a penny to do work?

A penny has chemical energy (PE) that we can convert to electricity (KE)….

Graphing the results is an excellent addition to this activity. Using the single cell voltage from the first stack, one can determine the voltage of the battery assuming each additional stack will be perfectly additive and thus linear. In reality the voltage of the battery will be less and can follow a potentially non-linear trend for which students can re-evaluate how the battery was constructed and engineer a solution to improve the battery voltage.
