Lab PreviewDirections: Answer these questions before you begin the Lab.1. What energy sources do you use at home?
2. Is the food you eat a source of energy? Why?
Over the past 100 years, the amount of energy used in the United States andelsewhere has greatly increased. Today, a number of energy sources are avail-able, such as coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, hydroelectric power, wind,and solar energy. Some of these energy sources are being used up and are non-renewable, but others are replaced as fast as they are used and, therefore, arerenewable. Some energy sources are so vast that human usage has almost noeffect on the amount available. These energy sources are inexhaustible.
Think about the types of energy you use at home and school every day. In thislab, you will investigate how and where energy is produced, and how it gets toyou. You will also investigate alternative ways energy can be produced, andwhether these sources are renewable, nonrenewable, or inexhaustible.
Real-World QuestionWhat are the sources of energy you use everyday?
Form a HypothesisWhen you wake up in the morning and turnon a light, you use electrical energy. When youride to school in a car or bus, its engine con-sumes chemical energy. What other types ofenergy do you use? Where is that energy pro-duced? Which energy sources are nonrenew-able, which are renewable, and which areinexhaustible? What are other sources ofenergy that you could use instead?
Goals■ Identify how energy you use is produced
and delivered.■ Investigate alternative sources for the energy
you use.
■ Outline a plan for how these alternativesources of energy could be used.
Data SourceVisit green.msscience.com/
internet_lab for more information aboutsources of energy and for data collected byother students.
Test Your HypothesisMake a Plan1. Think about the activities you do every day
and the things you use. When you watchtelevision, listen to the radio, ride in a car,use a hair drier, or turn on the air condi-tioning, you use energy. Select one activityor appliance that uses energy.
2. Identify the type of energy that is used.3. Investigate how that energy is produced
and delivered to you.

Energy Transformations
A small stone thrown up into the air has kinetic energy because it is moving. As it rises higher,it slows down and its kinetic energy decreases. At the same time, however, its potential energy isincreasing as its position above Earth’s surface increases. When gravity causes the stone to stop rising and begin falling, its potential energy decreases as its kinetic energy increases. How can youdemonstrate that potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and vice versa?
StrategyYou will construct a device that changes
energy from one kind to another.You will observe and measure the distances
the device moves.You will interpret data in terms of energy
transformations.

the rubber band through the hole in thebottom. Put a toothpick through the loopin the rubber band to hold the rubberband in place, as shown in Figure 1. Pullany excess rubber band back into the box.
5. While a partner holds the lid close to thetop of the box, stretch the rubber band andpush the other end through the hole in thelid. Put a toothpick through the loop tohold the rubber band in place on the lid.Your device should look like Figure 2.
6. Put the lid on the box.7. Place the strip of masking tape on the floor
or a table. Place the box on its side at oneend of the tape.
8. Push the box gently, so it rolls along thetape strip. Ask your partner to mark howfar the box rolls before it stops and beginsrolling back to you. Measure and recordthis distance in the table.

Hydroelectric Generator
Moving water has energy that you can use. For centuries, waterwheels have been used to turnmillstones to grind grain or to run machines in factories. Today, moving water is used to makeelectricity. Dams along rivers create reservoirs where water is stored and then released when electricity is needed. In this laboratory activity, you can examine the series of energy transforma-tions that occur when moving water is used to generate electrical energy.
StrategyYou will build a model hydroelectric generator.You will build a device to detect the electricity generated.You will demonstrate how the energy of moving water is converted to electrical energy.

Made in the Shade
1. Write the transformation process showing the energy conversions required to turn an electricfan on board a spacecraft during the shaded part of its orbit. Start your process with the radi-ant energy of sunlight.
2. Could thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate electricity on a spacecraftthat was always in a planet’s shadow? Explain your answer.
3. Do you think that thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride could be used to generate all of theelectricity used on Earth at night? Explain your answer. (Hint: On a cloudy day or during thewinter, there are more hours of shadow than of sunlight.)
How is electricity generated on a spacecraft?One common way is by using solar panels.These panels are capable of turning radiantenergy from the Sun into electrical energy.This energy is then used to power devices suchas computers, lights, or radios.
Passing Through ShadowWhen a spacecraft is circling a planet,
however, part of its orbit passes through theplanet’s shadow. As a result, sunlight does notreach the solar panels during this part of theorbit, and the panels are not able to produceelectrical energy.
Thermal Energy StorageOne solution to this problem involves the
storage of thermal energy. Canisters filled withcertain types of crystals are attached to thespacecraft. One crystal that is often used iscalled lithium fluoride. During the sunny partof the orbit, the canisters absorb radiant energy.This energy is transformed into thermal energy.
The canisters become so warm that the lithiumfluoride inside them melts.
Releasing EnergyOnce the spacecraft enters the shaded part of
its orbit, the liquid lithium fluoride begins tolose heat, and it eventually freezes. The thermalenergy released during this process is capturedand used to generate electrical energy. Thiselectricity powers the spacecraft’s instrumentsduring the shaded portion of the orbit.
The Cycle RepeatsAt about the same time as the lithium
fluoride returns to its original temperature andall of its extra thermal energy has been released,the spacecraft moves from the shaded part of itsorbit to the sunny part. The solar panels onceagain begin to convert radiant energy to electri-cal energy. Meanwhile, the thermal energy ofthe lithium fluoride crystals begins to increase.This cycle repeats itself during each orbit thatthe spacecraft makes around the planet.

Fuel Cells
A fuel cell is a device that can produce elec-trical energy directly from chemical energy.Inside a fuel cell, a chemical reaction takesplace between hydrogen and oxygen gas. Thisreaction generates an electric current. In thefuture, power plants that rely on fuel cells maycome to replace many that rely on fossil fuels.Fuel cells may also be used to power cars thatrun on electricity.
Wet and Dry CellsFuel cells aren’t the only devices that convert
chemical energy directly into electrical energy.Wet cells (such as those in automobile batteries)and dry cells (such as flashlight batteries) cando so as well. However, the chemicals used togenerate electricity from wet and dry cells arepresent in fixed amounts. Once these amountsare used up by the chemical reaction, the cellscan no longer generate electrical energy.
Refueling Fuel CellsFuel cells, by contrast, can be refueled. When
a continuous supply of hydrogen and oxygenis pumped into a fuel cell, it can produce elec-tricity almost indefinitely. The supply of react-ing chemicals won’t be used up because it isconstantly being replaced.
Fuel cells have several advantages over fossilfuels. One is that fuel cells produce much lesspollution than the burning of fossil fuels does.
In fact, the only “waste” products of a fuel cellthat uses hydrogen gas are water and heat.
Fuel Cell DisadvantagesSometimes, however, hydrogen gas is not
practical or affordable to use as a fuel. In suchcases, a carbon-based fuel, such as methanol,can be used as a starting material. The carbon-based fuels are broken down in the fuel cell toproduce hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide (agreenhouse gas). The hydrogen then reacts withoxygen to produce electric current. The amountof carbon dioxide produced from these types offuel cells is much less than what would be pro-duced by a power plant that burns fossil fuels.
A second advantage of fuel cells is that theycan generate electrical energy from chemicalsthat are renewable. Hydrogen gas and methanol,for example, can be produced from chemicalsthat are not fossil fuels. Some fuel cells evenrun on gases produced by decaying garbage in landfills.
Fuel Cell UsesToday, small fuel-cell power plants are being
used to provide electricity for some hospitalsand hotels. Early models of fuel-cell-poweredcars and buses are also being tested. It islikely that everyday uses of fuel cells willgrow as supplies of fossil fuels continue todiminish.
1. Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells are often used to provide electrical power on human-piloted spacecraft. What is one advantage of using this energy source on such missions?
2. Which do you think is more efficient at generating electrical power: a fossil-fuel power plant ora fuel-cell power plant? Explain your answer. (Hint: In general, the more energy transformationsthat occur, the less efficient a power plant will be.)
3. The ideas behind fuel cells were developed in 1839. Scientists began using fuel cells in the space program in the 1960s. Why do you think that fuel cells are only recently coming intowidespread use?
