Types of Energy

Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of this.

• Electrical energy

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Mechanical energy

What type of energy does out mousetrap use? Stretched rubber bands and springs also use this form of energy.

• Mechanical/elastic energy

• Chemical energy

• Thermal energy

• Electrical energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom—the energy that holds the nucleus together. Large amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.

• Radiant energy

• Nuclear energy

• Chemical energy

• Mechanical energy

NGSS.HS-PS1-8

Energy stored in an object's height. The higher and heavier the object, the more energy is stored. What type of energy is this?

• Radiant-kinetic energy

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Gravitational Potential Energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-2

Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves. This type of energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. Light is one type of this. What type of energy is this?

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Radiant energy

• Mechanical energy

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Which type of energy is described as: 'heat, is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat increases when these particles move faster.'?

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Electrical energy

• Nuclear energy

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

NGSS.MS-PS3-3

Which type of energy is described as: 'Energy stored in moving objects. The faster an object moves, the more energy is stored. It takes energy to get an object moving, and energy is released when an object slows down.'?

• Gravitational Potential energy

• Thermal energy

• Motion energy

• Sound energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

Which type of energy is described as: 'Energy moving through substances in longitudinal (compression or rarefaction) waves. This is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate.'?

• Sound energy

• Thermal energy

• Electrical energy

• Light energy

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

Which type of energy is described as: 'Energy that is delivered by tiny, charged particles, called electrons, that typically move through a wire.'?

• Electrical energy

• Thermal energy

• Chemical energy

• Sound energy
