Energy Vocabulary

The energy an object has due to its motion

• kinetic

• thermal

• chemical

• potential

______,also called heat energy, is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molocules to move faster and collide with each other

• Energy

• Thermal energy

• electrical energy

• wavelength

____ is a form of energy. ____ energy is all about vibrating air, water, wood, whatever material the vibration/mechanical motion is near. It travels most efficiently through solids and least quickly through gasses because of how the particles are arranged in each material.

• potential

• Electrical Energy

• sound

• Crest

______ is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. This energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place. Usually this energy has been released from a substance, that substance is transformed into a completely new substance.

• Electrical Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Chemical Energy

• thermal energy

____ is the ability to do work. ____ makes things move. It makes machines go. It also makes most living things grow.

• Thermal Energy

• chemical Energy

• Energy Transfer

• Energy

_____ energy is the stored energy an object has because of its position or state. A bicycle on top of a hill, a book held over your head, and a stretched spring all have ____energy.

• potenital

• kinetic

• thermal

• chemical

____ energy is moving energy. It is the movement of tiny particles called electrons and protons. _____ energy can be seen in nature in a bold of lightning, which is a large number of electrons flowing through air all at once. People have learned how to produce _____ energy and control it.

• Electromagnet

• Thermal Energy

• Electrical Energy

• Chemical Energy

____ is a magnet whose magnetic field is created when electricity is flowing.

• Wavelength

• Potential Energy

• Electrical Energy

• Electormagnet

_______ takes place when energy moves from one place to another. Energy can move from one object to another, like when the energy from your moving foot is transferred to a soccer ball, or energy can change from one form to another.

• Electromagnet
