**UNIT Project Ms. Jones (extra credit practice for test project)** If you can do one of these you will be ready for the exam on Wednesday this week (23)
 * 1) Choose one items in your home that uses energy. Find pictures or draw pictures and glue them to your posture board.
 * 2) Write the name of the item you chose at the top of one index card. (use one card for each item/picture and glue to posture board please)
 * 3) Explain the main purpose of each item and explain if it is a machine.
 * 4) Tell if it is a simple or compound machine explaining why and name at least two simple machine parts found on the compound machine. (give examples)
 * 5) For each item you must identify the main source of energy the item uses. (label it main source)
 * 6) Once you have identified the main source of energy, identify all the other forms of energy involved while the item is working. (label it other forms of energy)
 * 7) Now placed the energy forms in order of the energy transformations from start to finish.(Please include the main source of energy and all other forms of energy)
 * 8) Explain when the item you chose has potential energy and kinetic energy.
 * 9) Is there a way we can conserve energy when using this machine explain?

**Example of what it should look like (written on index card.)**
2. Stove 3. A stove is used to cook food. It is a machine because it makes cooking easier for us since we can cook inside the house without causing a fire. 4. A stove is a compound machine because it is make up of more than two simple machines for example there are five screws (knobs) for turning on the stove and a lever for opening and closing the oven door. 5. Main source of energy - Chemical energy since it is a gas stove(gas) 6. Other forms of energy - mechanical energy knobs /door, Radiant energy (light/flames), thermal energy(heat) 7. Order of Transformations - Mechanical energy (turn on the knob)--Chemical energy (hear gas)--radiant energy(see flames/light)--thermal energy(feel heat). 8. The stove has potential energy when it is off and it has kinetic energy when you turn it on, open the oven door, digital clock is on, the light/flame is on. 9. We can conserve energy by turning it off we it is not in uses, eating the cold as soon as it is cooked so we will not have to reheat the food, buy a newer stove with a better efficiency rate. (yellow sticker that now come on the newer appliances)

These are the Forms of Energy Here are energy Transformations (show energy changes)
