Energy Transform
transformations and types for 6th grade science in Texas
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cent Germs | An acronym to remember the energy types; mechanical, radiant, sound, chemical, electrical, nuclear, thermal, gravitational and elastic |
| thermal energy | a type of kinetic energy caused by the movement of heat |
| nuclear energy | a type of potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom |
| electrical energy | a type of kinetic energy caused by the movement of electrons |
| chemical energy | a type of potential energy stored in things such as food and batteries |
| sound energy | a type of kinetic energy caused by moving waves |
| radiant energy | a type of kinetic energy caused by moving light |
| mechanical energy | the sum of kinetic and potential energy; also can refer to energy of movement of machines and living things |
| energy transformation | one type of energy changing into another type of energy |
| The Law of Conservation of Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another |
| potential energy | energy that is stored |
| gravitational potential energy | energy stored due to position; for example - a boulder at the top of a hill |
| elastic potential energy | energy stored due to stretching or compressing such as in springs or elastic |
| energy | the ability to do work |
| kinetic energy | energy of movement |
