You can think of energy as the ability to move or cause change in matter. It comes in many forms. Kinetic energy is energy that is in use, and potential energy is energy that is stored. Learn more about the different types of energy with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. Other key vocabulary words include: chemical energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy, and thermal energy. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

In this video, students will learn about the importance of conserving energy. Some of the lyrics include the following:
Energy...
Sometimes I think I'm runnin' out of energy
Seems like we use an awful lot for
Heatin' and lightin' and drivin'
Readin' and writin' and jivin'
Energy ... You'd think we'd be savin' it up.Energy ... You can get it by dammin' up a river
Energy ... A windmill can make the breeze deliver
But even with millin' and dammin'
Our needs are so much more demanding
For energy ... We have to use some kind of fuel.
Some of the key vocabulary words include: dams, windmills, fuels, coal, solar, nuclear, and thermal energy. This is a good teaching resource for a science lesson/unit on conservation and/or energy. (3:01)

Volcanoes 101
From NationalGeographicVideo, produced by National Geographic

Today we know volcanoes are openings or vents to the interior of the planet. About 1,500 volcanoes around the world are considered active, about 90% rest in the Ring of Fire, a band circling the Pacific Ocean. While the Earth’s surface looks peaceful the crust is made up of slabs of rock that constantly shift, where the plates interact, volcanoes often form. Friction from shifting plates melts the Earth’s crust, causing rock beneath the crust to liquefy. This magma then becomes a volcano by erupting through rifts in the plates. Not all lava is the same. Volcanoes can be deadly, but it can also be good, it created 80% of Earth’s surface and the air we breathe, rich soil for farming, and some countries harness the heat to create geothermal energy. Video is very interesting and good quality. Good for elementary grade and middle school students.

Heat is thermal energy that exists in matter. The faster an object's particles move, the more heat it has. Heat can be added to an object by making its particles speed up. There are three basic forms of heat. Learn more about heat with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

This brief experiment includes 2 ice cubes: one is placed on a cork mat (an insulator) and one on a metal surface (conductor). Because the metal is a conductor it is able to conduct thermal energy to the ice cube (and take it from the surroundings) much more quickly than the cork mat. The ice cube on the metal has completely melted while the cork mat has hardly made a dent.
This experiment also demonstrates that air (as with any gas) is a good insulator. If air was a good conductor, then the ice on the metal might have melted marginally faster; the effect would not be nearly so pronounced.
The video plays at 16 times normal speed; the ice cube on the metal took just over 8 minutes to melt. No audio. (0:32)

In this interactive resource adapted from the University of Colorado's Physics Education Technology project, hang various masses from different springs and observe how kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, and thermal energy are related. A bar graph illustrates the conservation of energy by showing how the total energy of the system remains the same while the levels for the different forms of energy vary. Options allow you to choose the stiffness and amount of friction of a spring and see how different amounts of gravity affect the system.

CMU professor Gabriel Caruntu explains the reactions which occur in fireworks by doing a demonstration he calls the ‘chemical volcano’. Similar to fireworks, this reaction starts with thermal energy, in the form of a flame. When the flame reaches the solid, it initiates a reaction where the orange solid ‘erupts’ and changes to a fine green powder. (01:43)

In this short video, students will learn about the vocabulary word "thermal". Thermal is defined as anything related to heat or an increase in temperature. Several examples of thermal heat are given (sun, cooking food, clothing, creating energy). This is a great resource when introducing the word thermal into the elementary classroom. (00:59)

An emerging economic challenge for greater Minnesota involves developing renewable energy sources for local consumption. To lay the groundwork for the next generation, the West Central Rural Outreach Center (WCROC) has launched an extensive applied research program in renewable energy geared towards rural Minnesota users and producers. This video explains how an extension of the University of Minnesota’s College of Food Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences, WCROC tests and develops biomass gasification and creates synthetic fertilizer (NH3) from wind turbines, as well as photovoltaic and solar-thermal systems.

In this interactive activity adapted from NOVA Online, learn about eight of the latest solar technologies: thermal trough, mirrored dish, power tower, thin film, concentrated sunlight, solar paint, evacuated-tube collectors, and sun-grown biofuel. In the face of global climate change, scientists and engineers are actively developing new ways to harness the free and renewable energy of the Sun as an alternative to fossil fuels. Look at photos, an illustration, and text to investigate how these technologies can provide environmentally friendly solutions.

Fun science demonstration you can do at home. Put an egg in a bottle that does not belong there. As the heat within the bottle causes the gasses to expand, once cooled, the gasses contract allowing the atmosphere to push the egg into the bottle.

From Dragonfly TV. Phoebe and Shannon love exploring Yellowstone National Park. There are so many cool things to see: the canyon, waterfalls, wildlife, lakes, hot springs, and geysers! The girls went to Canyon Visitor Center to learn more about these features-especially the thermal basins, places where there are lots of geysers or hot springs. The park sits on a really big hot spot, made up of magma that rises from deep in the earth. All this magma heats up the ground water in the area and creates thermal features including geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots. Geysers are thermal features that have narrow space in their plumbing. Steam forces water through this opening and boom, the geyser erupts! The girls investigate the following question: Why doesn't every thermal basin have a geyser?

"I made this video over the course of a few months in Yellowstone. I love the water features such as waterfalls, the lakes, creeks, and rivers. Most captivating to me, however are the geysers - the thermal features are what give the park the most unique aspects of any in the world." The video features amazing footage filmed in a professional manner. (03:47)

Lava Descent

Located at Erta Ale Volcano in Ethiopia. The moonscape is twelve times the size of Manhattan in New York. Photographer, Karsten Peter wants a sample of molten rock from the lava lake. Located at three continental plates, base of this volcano is 300 feet below sea level. This is one of the world’s oldest living lava lakes, and has been bubbling for at least the last 90 years. They climb down in to the crater. He gets down near the lava, but needs to put on a thermal suit. He tosses cable into the lava and it melts the cable. He settles for recently hardened samples from the edge. Hopefully these rocks will give scientists information on where they have been. Video is very interesting video and is of very good quality. Good for elementary grade and middle school students.
