Forms of Energy
8th Grade Forms of Energy
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Energy from movement of particles in a substance | Thermal Energy |
| Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy in an object or substance | Thermal Energy |
| The flow of energy from a warmer object or substance to a cooler object or substance | Heat Energy |
| Sometimes we use this term to describe the flow of thermal energy | Heat Energy |
| Energy that can travel in waves through empty space | Electromagnetic Energy |
| The Sun releases this energy in visible light, microwaves, x-rays, and other kinds of waves | Electromagnetic Energy |
| Energy stored in a substance's chemical bonds, which determine the arrangement of its atoms and molecules | Chemical Energy |
| Energy stored in food powers the cells of the body, and this type of energy in fuel is released when we burn the fuel | Chemical Energy |
| Energy holding together particles in an atom's nucleus | Nuclear Energy |
| Energy is released when a nucleus breaks apart and when two nuclei fuse. Nuclear fusion powers the Sun. What is this type of energy? | Nuclear Energy |
| Energy from the flow of electrons | Electrical Energy |
| The flow of electrons is called an electric current. What type of energy is this? | Electrical Energy |
| Energy that moves an object | Mechanical Energy |
| This type of energy is a combination of an object's potential and kinetic energy | Mechanical Energy |
| Energy from a vibration that travels in waves through a medium (matter) | Sound Energy |
| This type of energy cannot travel through empty space | Sound Energy |
