Description
Simple Machines!
The first of two Web Seminars on Energy: Stop Faking It! was held on Tuesday, January 9, 2007, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. The presenter was Dr. Bill Robertson, author of the popular NSTA Press series Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It. Robertson focused his presentation on simple machines, while spending some time to review the concepts of kinetic energy, potential energy, and work.

- Physical Science
- Transfer of Energy
- Energy is a property of many substances and is associated with heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound, nuclei, and the nature of a chemical.
- Energy is transferred in many ways.
- A tiny fraction of that light reaches the earth, transferring energy from the sun to the earth.
- Conservation of energy and increase in disorder
- The total energy of the universe is constant. (9-12)
- Energy can be transferred by collisions in chemical and nuclear reactions, by light waves and other radiations, and in many other ways. (9-12)
- Energy can never be destroyed. (9-12)
- As energy transfers occur, the matter involved becomes steadily less ordered. (9-12)
- All energy can be considered to be either kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion; potential energy, which depends on relative position; or energy contained by a field, such as electromagnetic waves. (9-12)
