| electrical energy | Energy created by the flow of electrons through a conductor. |
| light energy | Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye. |
| energy transformation | This is the process of changing energy from one form to another. Solar energy is changed into chemical energy by plants. |
| mechanical energy | The energy transferred by a force to a moving object. |
| chemical energy | The energy stored in bonds within the nucleus of an atom; energy released from a fission or fusion reaction. |
| thermal energy | Random kinetic energy possessed by objects in a material at finite temperature. An object that feels hot has a lot of this. |
| nuclear energy | The energy stored in bonds within the nucleus of an atom; energy released from a fission or fusion reaction. |
