Energy

Thermal Energy is

• energy associated with movement
• energy associated with movement of particles in a substance
• energy associated with barometers
• energy associated with air

All matter is made up of atoms (particles) that move

• faster when they cool down
• slower when the heat up
• faster when they heat up
• never

Heat energy is the 

• transfer of chemical energy
• transfer of thermal energy

Heat energy always transfers thermal energy from 

• hotter objects to cooler objects
• cooler objects to hotter objects

Radiant energy is

• energy transferred through electromagnetic waves such as visible light, ultraviolet light, or x-rays
• stored within chemical bonds
• flowing in a circuit
• due to motion (kinetic) and position (potential) 

A type of radiant energy

• a light bulb
• nuclear bomb
• solar energy
• running

what is an example of using solar energy?

• food
• light bulbs
• fossil fuels powering a car
• green plants during photosynthesis

Most of the energy that we use on Earth originally came from...

• the sun
• the moon
• the stars
• Me

sources of radiant energy include, but are not limited to:

• stars, light bulbs, and microwaves
• protists, fungi, and animals
• food, roller skates, and tissues
• movement, the moon, and fire

Chemical energy is

• energy transferred through electromagnetic waves such as visible light, ultraviolet light, or x-rays
• stored within chemical bonds
• flowing in a circuit
• due to motion (kinetic) and position (potential)
