Energy The ability to do work; measured in Joules (J).
Kinetic Energy The energy of motion that depends on an object's mass and speed.
Potential Energy The stored energy that depends on an object's mass and position/shape.
Elastic Potential Energy Energy that is stored due to being stretched or compressed.
Gravitational Potential Energy Energy that is dependent on mass and height.
Energy Transformation This happens when one energy types changes to another.
Mechanical Energy The total energy an object has because of it's motion (speed) and position.
Law of Conservation of Energy This states that energy can only be changed, not created nor destroyed.
Insulator This material that does not allow energy to pass freely; wood, glass, plastic.
Temperature This measures the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object or substance.
Chemical Energy A potential energy stored in bonds between atoms.
Thermal energy Overall energy of a system that is responsible for the temperature.
Conduction Energy that is transferred by direct contact.
Nuclear Energy Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom; most concentrated form of energy.
Sound Energy Energy that is created by vibrational movement through substances in waves.
Conductor Material that allows energy to pass freely; metals.
Electrical Energy Energy created by the movement of electrons.
Radiation Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic waves.
Heat This is the flow of energy from warmer places to cooler places due to differences in temperature.
Convection The energy that is transferred by the mass motion of molecules.
Radiant/ Electromagnetic Energy Energy in the form of moving waves that produce light.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
