The Physics Home – Energy
Each group picks a different room from the physics house. Comment to this post with a paragraph that describes all of the types of energy that you would find in that room.

We did the living room and we found that in the room there were different types of energy. The types of energy we found were elastic potential energy in the couch. Thermal energy in the lights. Also kinetic energy in the fan that is on and moving.

we are doing the bathroom and here
is th´potential energy:
the sink, toilete and shower have both potential energy because they ar´ waiting to be used/ turned on.

Gravitational energy- a ball dropping to the floor
Potential energy- curtains hanging by the window sill
Kinetic energy- a train moving on the tracks
Static energy- a Janga block lying on the ground
Chemical energy- the light bulb
Kinetic energy- the ceiling fan

HEY THERE! WE LOOKED AT THE BATHROOM
THERMAL ENERGY IN THE AIR VENTS
KINETIC ENERGY FROM THE PERSON PUSHING DOWN THE TOILET FLUSHER
THERMAL ENERGY IN THE LIGHT BULB
ELETRIC ENERGY FROM THE STREIGHTENER PLUGGED INTO THE WALL
KINETIC ENERGY FROM THE PERSON PLUNGING THE TOILET

We are going to do Enrique’s room. There is electric energy in the light bulb, the fan, the ipod, and the ipod speakers. There is Elastic potential energy in his pen that is in his room, a rubber band also has it. There is potential energy in his yo-yo that is winded up, and the fan when it is off as well as the light bulb. Mariano jumping on my bed is kinetic energy. The grape I found under my bed has chemical potential energy.Eduardo’s cross that is hung on top of the wall is gravitational potential energy.

Backyard:
-The trampoline has elastic potential energy.
-When the swing is moving there is kinetic energy.
-The b-b-q pit has thermal and chemical potential energy.
-Soccer balls have gravitation potential energy.
-Diving board has elastic potential energy.
-The teeter totter has gravitational potential energy.
-Fish swimming in the pond has kinetic energy.
-Squirrels climbing have kinetic energy.
-Air pogo stick has elastic potential energy.
-Outdoor lighting for the deck has thermal energy.
-Firewood and lighting fluid on the side of the house have chemical energy.
-Heater for pool and hot tub have thermal energy.
-The doorknob to the rabbit’s cage has elastic potential energy.
-The owner playing fetch with their dog has kinetic energy.
-The frisbee in the person’s hand about to be thrown has gravitational potential energy.
-Falling acorns and leaves have kinetic energy.
-The sun shining on the flowers has thermal, chemical, and nuclear energy.

Zacks Closet
Thermal energy from the lightbulb
Potenial Gravitational Energy which is clothes hanging on a hanger
Kinetic energy from all the bugs flyin around
Elastic energy from my stretchy shorts and fake ties
Chemical energy from the moth balls that i might have at the back of my closet. I think.
Potential Energy from the piles of things ready to hit me
My closet is awesome

Attic-
>The lights have thermal and chemical potential energy
>A box sitting on the shelf would have gravitational energy
>Spiders and bugs crawling around have chemical energy from rusting metals
>A person going up to the attic to move boxes has kinetic energy
>The sun rays shining through the window have thermal energy
>The rocks and trunks have gravitational energy
>Grandfather clock has potential energy by when it ticks
>Rubber bands around files and boxes have elastic energy
>The leftover bones from old people have gravitational energy

I chose to do my room-
There is:
-Kinetic energy in the blades of the fan
-Potential gravitational energy in the pens sitting on the desk
-Thermal energy in the lights
-Nuclear, chemical potential, and thermal energy in the sunlight coming through the windows
-Chemical potential energy in the computer screen
-Elastic potential energy in the springs in the bed

>lightbulb
>oven
>stove
KENNETIC ENERGY
>somebody cooking
GRAVITATIONAL
> hannging pots
>the cookie jar on the top shelf
ELASTIC ENERGY
>laphy taphy in the candy jar
>door knob
CHEMICAL ENERGY
> the boiling soup on the stove
>gass burner (on)

BATHROOM-
-Kinetic Energy= The water coming from the shower head plus faucet
-Kinetic Energy= the air vent in the bathroom
-Thermal Energy= The light bulb and the heater
-Gravitational Potential Energy= The water in the sink being pulled through the pipes to the ground
Chemical Potential Energy= The rust in the hinges and doorknob
-Chemical Potential Energy= The chemical bonds in the person and objects in the bathroom
-Elastic Potential Energy= In the hinges and the doorknob
-Thermal Energy and Nuclear Energy= The light coming from the window

ENERGY IN THE TWILIGHT PREMIRE AT 12:01 midnight. Taking place in theatre 5,6,7.
Kinetic energy:
> screaming girls on three red bulls and are screaming at edward cullens amazing face.
Thermal
> The annoying lights that would not turn off so the movie would start.
Gravitational
> The attraction between edward and bella.
>The bouncy balls that we threw down the balcony awaiting the annoying line.
Elastic
> The really bouncy red chairs that we were bouncing on while we were waiting for the movie to start.
Chemical
> The really yummy popcorn popping that I could throw at James & Victoria’s face.
