        Help!  

Term
Definition
Chemical   Stored in bonds of atoms and molecules.  
🗑
Radiant   Energy that comes to us in waves. Electromatic waves.  
🗑
Thermal   The vibration and movement of molecules.  
🗑
Mechanical   An objects movement creates energy.  
🗑
Sound   Vibrations that are transmitted through air,water or another medium and produce a sensation in the air.  
🗑
Nuclear   Stored in the nucleus of an atom when nucleus splits or combines.  
🗑
Electrical   Electrons flow and produce energy.  
🗑
Conduction   Transfers heat from a warm object to a colder one through direct contact. (Have to touch). EX. Burning logs in a fire place- New logs will burn when they are introduced to the ones that are already burning.  
🗑
Convection   Transfers heat in a fluid through currents. EX. Convection ovens allow for heat to be spread quickly and easily for baking to happen faster.  
🗑
Radiation   Heat is transferred through electromatic waves. EX. Radiation is how heat is transferred from the sun through space to earth.  
🗑
Chemical Energy   Chemical Energy can come from fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas)* Chemical Energy can be transformed into heat energy and electricity.  
🗑
Chemical Energy Definition   A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms.  
🗑
Electrical Energy   Energy caused by the movement of electrons.  
🗑
Energy   Ability to do work.  
🗑
Energy Transformation   A process in which energy changes from one form to another form while some of the other energy is lost to the environment.  
🗑
Fission   The splitting of an atomic nucleus to release thermal energy.  
🗑
Fusion   A process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus.  
🗑
Joule   A unit of work equal to one newton-meter, measurement of energy.  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   The energy of motion.  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   Kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object.  
🗑
Nuclear Energy   Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, released when nucleus splits or combines.  
🗑
Potential Energy   Stored energy.  
🗑
Radiant Energy   Energy that travels in waves, electromagnetic waves.  
🗑
Thermal Energy   Heat energy, the vibration and movement of molecules.  
🗑
Coal   Black rock burned to make electricity.  
🗑
Geothermal   Energy from heat inside the Earth.  
🗑
Hydropower   Energy from flowing water.  
🗑
Biomass   Energy from wood, waste, and garbage.  
🗑
Wind   Energy from moving air.  
🗑
Uranium   Energy from splitting atoms.  
🗑
Propane   Portable fossil fuel gas often used in grill.  
🗑
Petroleum (oil)   Fossil fuel for cars, trucks, and jets.  
🗑
Natural Gas   Fossil fuel gas moved by pipeline.  
🗑
Solar   Energy in rays from the sun.  
🗑
