    Early chemists believed in caloric, which was the flow of warmth or heat from hotter to cooler objects. Our modern word for caloric is heat. Scientists studied two kinds of changes - flow and transformation. When the caloric idea was abandoned, the physical and chemical nature of energy was also lost. Our modern view of energy sees it as a substance that can flow and be transferred while keeping its identity after transformation. Energy is like information stored on a computer hard drive (potential energy) or in accounts (different forms of stored energy). The three accounts of stored energy are kinetic, potential, and internal while the three mechanisms of energy transfer are work, heat, and mass flow.

    Energy Reading Study Guide

    Historical view: Highlight your answers in yellow.

    Describe what early chemists meant by caloric


    To be caloric, early chemist meant that warmth or heat would flow from a hotter object to
    a cooler one and become warmer.

    What is our more modern word for caloric? _____heat______

    Our understanding of what causes changes to happen took two different paths that we
    eventually realized were the same. In paragraph 3 these are identified. Describe the two
    kinds of change scientists had studied.
    1. Flow

    2. Transformed

    What two ideas about energy were lost when the caloric idea was abandoned?

    The ________physical_____________ and _______chemical_____________ of energy

    Summarize the three principles guiding our modern view of energy.


    1. Can be viewed as a substance

    2. Can flow or be transferred

    3. Keeps identity after being transformed

    Information is used as a metaphor to describe what energy is like. Describe the ways the
    reading describes how energy is like information.

    Energy is like information on a computer because it can be stored through a hard drive,
    like potential energy.

    Describe the ways money accounts also describe energy storage and transfer.

    We describe three storage “accounts” to understand the changes we see in chemistry.


    State their names and describe how energy is stored in these three storage modes (how
    would you recognize that energy is present in these accounts in a system of matter?).

    3.

    We can transfer energy by three mechanisms. Identify the three and state how you would
    recognize each one in a system of matter.
