| Energy: the ability to do work or cause change | Work : When a FORCE is used to MOVE an object over a distance cause or change |
| Force:a Push or pull | Chemical energy:energy that is stored in particles of matter(h2o,foodbatteries,plant,etc. |
| mechanical energy:energy of 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) etc. |
| 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 cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed (transformed, converted) to a different form or transferred from one object or another. | consevre:To save. In respect to 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 passed along from one object to another. | transform or convert:Other words that mean the same thing as the word CHANGE. |
