| Kinetic Energy | Any type of energy that is moving. |
| Motion Energy | This is the energy present in moving things,such as the wind, a racing car, or a soaring ball. |
| Chemical Energy | The energy stored in materials such as food, batteries, dynamite, and gasoline. The chemicals these materials contain determine how much energy they store. |
| Gravitational Energy | The energy stored in objects that are in position to fall (once the object falls the type of energy changes). |
| Elastic Energy | The energy stored in stretchy objects such as rubber bands and springs contain this. |
| Thermal (heat) Energy | The energy a substance has as a result of a higher temperature. |
| Light Energy | This is the energy carried by light rays. |
| Electrical Energy | This is the energy that electricity provides. |
| Sound Energy | This is the energy carried by sound waves. |
| Thermal | This is another word for heat. |
| Temperature | Measurement of the amount of thermal heat an object contains. |
| Friction | The force resisting relative motion of surfaces that touch. When two surfaces are rubbing against each other in opposite directions, this & heat is made. |
| Molecule | The smallest particle into which an element or compound can be divided without changing its properties. |
| Radiation | Where heat is traveling through invisible waves from the source |
| Convection | Where fluids such as air or water are heated, and expand and rise |
| Conduction | Where the heat energy travels through solids |
