| CHEMICAL ENERGY | -energy that is stored in the particles of matter (H2O, food, batteries, plants, ect.) |
| MECHANICAL ENERGY | -Energy of motion or moving parts (bicycle, wind turbine, ocean waves, wind, arms, and legs.) |
| RADIANT ENERGY | -energy that travels on invisible waves (sunlight (solar energy), heat from fire, x-rays. microwave) ect. |
| THERMAL ENERGY | -the energy that all matter has because its particles (atoms, molecules) are in motion. |
| ELECTRICAL ENERGY | - the energy that comes from moving electrons (can be static or current.) |
| POTENTIAL ENERGY | -Energy that is stored and ready to be used |
| KINETIC ENERGY | -Energy that is working or in motion |
| LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY | -energy that cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed (transformed, converted) to a different for or transferred from one object to another. |
| CONSERVE | -to save. in respect of energy, it means that energy is never created or destroyed, but always stays the same amount, even when it is transferred or transformed. |
| TRANSFER | -to move something from one place or one object to another- the same type of energy can pass along from one object to another. |
| TRANSFORM OR CONVERT | -other words that means the same thing as CHANGE. |
| HEAT | -the transfer or flow of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. |
