Description

Each book in this series follows a packet of energy along a journey. Each stage of the journey is described in a short chapter, and we learn what alternative paths the energy might have taken along the way. This book shows how the energy in wind is turned into a music download. It explains the science behind sound, how it can be measured, recorded and stored, what happens in a recording studio, and how our ears hear sound. The topics covered are illustrated with experiments, amazing facts and scientific discoveries.

Some words are shown in bold,like this. You can find out what they mean by looking in the glossary.

What is energy?

We use the word energy in all kinds of ways. If you are always doing things, people say you have lots of energy. You can eat energy bars to provide the fuel to keep you active. Energy companies supply electricityand fuel for heating homes, offices, schools and factories.

These examples involve different types of energy. Movement is a type of energy calledkinetic energy. Energy bars and other fuels are stores of chemical energy. Electricity is a type of energy that can flow through cables and wires. We can use it to power lights, heaters, radios, televisions, computers, drills, lawnmowers and many other devices.

Sprinters convert the chemical potential energy from their food into kinetic energy.

The Science of SOUND

Fuels, energy bars, springs, elastic bands, a book on a shelf – these are all types of stored, orpotentialenergy. Fuels and foods have chemical potential energy. Springs and elastic bands have elastic potential energy. A book on a shelf, or a skateboard at the top of a slope, hasgravitationalpotential energy.
