Energy Energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only changed into different forms. Energy is only useful when it can be converted into different forms. Energy is often dissipated - spread out and lost. 9 types of energy: Thermal (heat) - flows from hot to cold objects Kinetic (movement) - anything that is moving has this Light - from the sun‚ light bulbs et cetera Elastically potential - when things are stretched Gravitational potential - anything that can fall Electrical - whenever

of flats- habitation of multi-family house links with larger threat of disturbance of quiet (repairs‚ lack of some occupants’ imagination‚ quarrels among neighbour‚ etc.) This seems particularly so for panel blocks and is caused by the low sound insulation and high sound transmission quality of external walls‚ and the thinness of internal walls inside flats and to the stairwell. The other problem is also temperature and draught: Flats in large housing estates are usually supplied with heat from a

7. Put them on a plate and eat them up! Is the ice cream still cold? What do you think keeps the ice cream cold even though it’s been in a hot oven for five minutes? What’s happening: Why didn’t the ice cream melt? The secret is the meringue! Insulation keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. Meringue is a really good insulator because it’s full of air. When you beat the egg whites‚ this adds lots of air into the mixture. Heat travels through food easily if the molecules in the food are close
