Energy and energy resources
| States that energy can change its form but is never created or destroyed | Law of conservation of energy |
| A device that transforms kinetic energy into electrical energy | Generator |
| A set of steam powered fan blades that spin a generator at a power plant | Turbine |
| Energy source that has replenished continually | Renewable source |
| Energy resource that is used up much faster than it can be replaced | Non-renewable source |
| Energy source that can't be used up by humans | Inexhaustible resource |
| New renewable or inexhaustible energy source; includes solar energy, wind, and geothermal energy. | Alternative source |
| Device that transforms radiant energy directly into electrical energy | Photovoltaic |
| Photovoltaic | Basically a solar panel |
| Inexhaustible source | Energy we won't run out of (example is wind) |
| Alternative resource | A way of making energy without burning oil, gas,coal |
| Nonrenewable resource | Energy that we use faster than it is made (example is oil or gas) |
| Renewable resource | Energy that we shouldn't run out of |
| Turbine | The part of the generator that spins (Think of the blades on a windmill) |
| Generator | A tool that changes energy of motion into electrical energy |
| Law of conservation of energy | Energy is never made or lost – it just changes form |
| Transformation | Changing something in someway or shape |
| Nuclear energy | Energy contained in atomic nuclei |
| Electrical energy | Energy carried by electric current |
| Chemical energy | Energy stored in chemical bonds |
| Energy | The ability to cause change |
| Mass | Amount of particles in an object |
| Thermal energy | Total kinetic and potential energy |
| Potential energy | Stored energy |
| Kinetic energy | Energy of motion |
| What is an example of kinetic energy? | Finish Skateboarding down hill Or start uphill |
| What is an example of potential energy? | The very height of the energy like a bicycle at the top of the hill |
| What is an example of transformation? | What is a caterpillar turning into a butterfly |
| What are two examples of Electrical energy? | Lightning, plug into electrical outlets |
| Energy and object has due to its motion | Kinetic |
| Energy stored in an object due to its position | Potential |
| The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a material | Thermal |
| A measure of the amount of matter in an object | Mass |
