Energy moving from one object or place to another. Example: When you touch a cold doorknob, heat moves from your hand to the metal.

Energy Transformation

Energy changing from one form to another. Example: A flashlight changes chemical energy in the battery into light energy.

Energy related to heat and the movement of particles in a substance. The faster the particles move, the more thermal energy it has.

Chemical energy is the energy stored inside the bonds of molecules. It is released when a chemical reaction happens, like when food is broken down in your body or when fuel burns.

Energy from the flow of electric charges (electricity). It powers things like lights, computers, and TVs.

Energy stored inside the nucleus of atoms. It is released in nuclear power plants or in the sun.

The energy an object has because of its motion or position. A moving car or a stretched bow has mechanical energy.

Energy carried by vibrations that travel through air or another medium. We hear sound when these vibrations reach our ears.

Energy an object has because of its height above the ground. The higher an object is, the more gravitational energy it has.

Energy that travels as waves through space, such as light from the sun.

Energy stored when something is stretched or compressed. Examples: rubber bands, springs, trampolines.

Electromagnetic Energy

Energy that travels in waves and can move through empty space. It includes light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.

Motion Energy (Kinetic Energy)

The energy of a moving object. Anything in motion—like a rolling ball—has kinetic energy.

Energy made by moving water. Flowing or falling water turns turbines to make electricity.

Potential energy is stored energy. It is the energy an object has because of its position or condition. Example: A book on a high shelf has potential energy because it could fall.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Any object that is moving has kinetic energy. Example: A rolling ball has kinetic energy because it is moving.

A substance that readily transfers heat or electrical energy.

material that does not conduct heat or electrical current.

A group of interacting or interdependent elements forming a complex whole; forexample, all the factors or variables in an environment or all the variables that mightaffect a science experiment.
