Technology

• Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, especially in industry and commerce

• It’s also known as electronic or digital products

Energy and Power

• This technology deals with the energy used in the modern world, such as Chemical Energy

Fossil FuelsFoodWoodBatteries

Electrical Energy Heat Energy

Geothermal Energy Light Energy

Solar Power Cells Nuclear Energy

Chemical Energy

• Chemical Energy is energy stored in a substance

Chemical Energy

• A battery contains chemical energy. When needed, it can be released, then converted into electricity

Chemical Energy

• Wood is also a good example of Chemical Energy

• When wood is burned, it releases Chemical Energy, therefore creating a chemical reaction, thus creating fire

Chemical Energy

• Food also contains chemical energy. When the food is digested, it is converted into potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy.

Electrical Energy

• Electrical Energy is the movement of electrons from one atom to another

Electrical Energy

• Electrical Energy can be created from Nuclear Energy Hydroelectric Energy Light Energy Geothermal Energy

Electrical Energy

• When Electrical Energy is created, it is then converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion

Wind Energy

• Wind Energy is using the kinetic energy of the wind to rotate a motor, which creates electricity

Wind Energy

• In California, there are lots of strong winds, which can power many windmills and create eco-friendly wind energy

Heat Energy

• Heat Energy is the energy created from the motion of particles in an atom

Heat Energy

• Heat Energy can be created from a geothermal power plant to be converted into electricity

Heat Energy

• A geothermal power plant is a power plant that uses the Mantle’s Heat to create Energy

Light Energy

• Light Energy is energy from the sun which can be converted into electricity

Light Energy

• A solar-power panel uses light energy to create electricity

Light Energy

• Most calculators rely on a solar-power cell to work properly

Nuclear Energy

• Nuclear Energy is created as atoms of certain material are split

• This is called nuclear fission

Nuclear Energy

• When nuclear fission occurs, a large amount of energy is created, which can then be transferred into electricity

Shell Gasoline

• Shell Gasoline makes gasoline for most transportation vehicles including cars and trucks

GE

• GE is a leading energy producing company

• They have made a 120 cart train drive 200 miles on one gallon of fuel

MVEC

• MVEC stands for Magic Valley Electric Cooperative

• MVEC is an electric service company here in the Rio Grande Valley

Energizer

• Energizer is a leading battery producing company

Falcon Dam

• Falcon Dam is a hydro-electric plant, which uses running water to make electricity for people in the Rio Grande Valley
