Forms of Energy

Ability to do work or cause change

Matter that cannot be created or destroyed

Power that only moves electrons

Force that makes objects fall down

Mechanical energy of motion or position

Chemical energy in atom bonds

Thermal energy from hot particles

Electrical energy from electrons

Radiant energy traveling as light

Thermal energy from moving particles

Sound energy produced by vibrations

Nuclear energy from atomic nuclei

Fire, hot stove, warm water

Outlets, batteries, lightning

Food, gasoline, batteries

Sunlight, light bulbs, rainbows

Sound energy from vibrations

Radiant energy as light waves

Mechanical energy of motion

Chemical energy stored in bonds

Radiant energy traveling as light

Thermal energy in hot matter

Electromagnetic waves through space

Nuclear energy from atom splitting

Particles moving faster are thermal

Light waves detected are radiant

Electrons moving are electrical

Vibrations you hear are sound

Energy lost when going up a hill

Stored energy at the highest point

Energy of motion at the fastest point

Energy created when objects slow

Potential energy due to position

Thermal energy from particles

Kinetic energy while moving

Sound energy from vibrations

Changing thermal into chemical

Gaining potential, losing kinetic

Losing potential, gaining kinetic

Creating new energy from nothing
