Forms of Energy
Identify and define different types of energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Heat/Thermal Energy | This type of energy comes from tiny particles (atoms and molecules) inside objects that are always moving/ vibrating. |
| Light Energy | This type of energy we can see. This energy travels very fast and moves in straight lines. |
| Chemical Energy | This type of energy is stored in chemical bonds between atoms/ molecules. It is released during a chemical reaction. |
| Nuclear Energy | This type of energy is stored in the center (nucleus) of atoms. It is released when the nucleus of an atom splits apart or joins with another nucleus. It comes from the sun and nuclear power plants. |
| Electrical Energy | This type of energy is from moving electric charges. This energy is caused by the movement of electrons. |
| Electromagnetic Energy | This type of energy travels as waves. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. |
| Sound Energy | This type of energy is made by vibrations and is created when objects vibrate. |
| Magnetic Energy | This type of energy comes from the movement of electric charges. It is related to magnets and magnetic fields (the north and south pole). |
| Gravitational Energy | This type of energy related to gravity. It pulls objects toward each other affects everything with mass. |
| Mechanical Energy | This type of energy is the energy of motion and position. It includes kinetic energy (moving objects) and potential energy (stored energy due to position or shape). |
