| Heat Energy | Energy that is created in the movement of particles (atoms) that produces heat. Increases as temperature increases |
| Mechanical Energy | Energy of motion The total energy of motion and position of an object |
| Light Energy | Energy created by vibrating particles that create waves that travel through space and time. [These waves are called electromagnetic waves.] |
| Sound Energy | is caused by an object’s vibrations |
| Chemical Energy | Energy stored in chemical bonds |
| Electrical Energy | Energy that is carried by an electrical current (the movement of electrons, the negatively charged particles of atoms) |
| heat | In physics, a form of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in any material. |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another. |
| solar energy | The energy the Earth receives from the sun, primarily as visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. |
| fossil fuel | A hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and used as fuel. |
| biomass | is a renewable energy source from living or recently living plant and animal materials which can be used as fuel. |
