Energy Transformation

Unit 8: Energy Transformation

Energy is the Ability to do work. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be stored or transferred from place to place.

is the ability to perform work.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is stored energy in an object due to its position or to the arrangement of its part.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is the energy stored in chemical bonds holding the atoms of a compound together.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is the energy of moving electrons.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is involved with moving objects; it could be pushing, pulling, turning, or throwing.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is produced when atoms absorb energy from an outside source and release this energy as electromagnetic radiation.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is the energy of moving or vibrating molecules.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is the energy stored in a solid object when it is either stretched or compressed.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is a form of energy stored in the nuclei of atoms.

Fill in the Blanks

is when energy is created from splitting the nuclei of heavy atoms such as uranium. This is an example of nuclear energy.

Fill in the Blanks

Energy

is the process of CHANGING energy from ONE FORM to ANOTHER.

Fill in the Blanks

Energy

is when energy is being MOVED from PLACE to PLACE.

Fill in the Blanks

energy is the energy a moving object has.
