Electricity can be transformed into light, heat, motion, magnetic effects and sound

Transformation Terms...
Lightbulb: A device that transforms electric energy into light and heat energy
Filament: A tiny thin coil with very high resistance found in a lightbulb
Electromagnetism: magnetism that is produced by electricity
Electromagnet: A magnet that is created due to an electric current
Electric Motor: A device where the spin of an electromagnet inside another magnet causes other objects to turn
Electric Generator: A device that produces electricity by using the energy of motion

Electric Generator: A device that produces electricity by using the energy of motion
Turbine: The part of the electric generator that spins to create the motion energy used to create the electrical energy
Hydro-electric dam: A large wall that blocks and stores water in one spot whose flow can then be controlled by pipes
Hydro-Electric Power (or Hydro Power): Power generated by falling water that is used to spin turbines that are in an electric generator
Photoelectric Cell: A device used to convert solar energy into electrical energy

Renewable/Non-Renewable Resources
Renewable is like when you RENEW a book at our school library; it can be used over and over again.
Renewable Resources:
*Solar Energy: Energy that comes from the sun
*Geothermal Energy: Heat energy found within the earth.
*Tidal Energy: The energy of moving water in the tides
*Wind Energy: The energy of moving air
*Biomass Energy (Bioenergy): The energy that is stored in plants and animals
Renewable Resources:

*Geothermal Energy: Heat energy found within the earth.
*Tidal Energy: The energy of moving water in the tides
*Wind Energy: The energy of moving air
*Biomass Energy (Bioenergy): The energy that is stored in plants and animals
A Non-renewable resource cannot be used over again quickly and cannot be replaced in our lifetime.
Non-Renewable Resources:
Nuclear Energy: The energy released when the nucleus of an atom
splits in two
Fossil Fuels: Energy sources that are made from very old plants and animals
-3 Types of Fossil Fuels: Coal, Oil, Natural gas
