Task 1 - True or false
Statement T or F
1) Energy is the ability to do work.
2) Potential energy can be stored in 3 main ways: chemical, electrical,
potential
3) Objects which move higher up have more gravitational potential
energy
4) Food, fuels and batteries all contain elastic potential energy
5) Potential means the ability to do something that hasn’t been done
yet.
6) As an object falls, it gains kinetic energy
7) Power is measured in Joules
Extension: correct any false statements

Energy stores
The 7 different stores of energy are
Thermal eg bunsen burner
Light eg light bulb
Sound eg _________
Kinetic eg _________
Electrical eg ________
Potential (chemical) eg _________
Potential (gravitational) eg ______
Potential (elastic) eg _______
Nuclear

Any form 10.4
of stored energy is called
Potential energy
potential energy
What does
‘potential’
mean?
Potential means the
ability to do
something that hasn’t
been done yet.

Elastic potential energy (EPE)
10.4 Potential energy
This is stored in elastic materials such
as rubber, metal springs and elastic.

Chemical potential energy (CPE)
Energy is stored in the
bonds between atoms. When
the bonds are broken, often
by burning (oil, gas, wood) or
by a chemical reaction
(digesting food, battery) the
energy is released.

Gravitational potential energy (GPE)
10.4 Potential energy
Gravitational potential
energy is energy an object
has because it is high up.
This is due to gravity
pulling it down
It only releases
this energy when
it falls down.
