🗑
element   matter that is a pure substance and made of only one kind of atom, such as Carbon (C).  
🗑
physical change (also called physical reaction)   occurs when one or more physical properties of a substance are changed, but the substance keeps its identity, such as water changing from a liquid to solid ice.  
🗑
chemical change( also called chemical reaction)   occurs when one or more substances are changed into new substances with different properties that can't be change back to the original properties, such as frying an egg  
🗑
fossil fuels   fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas; formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals  
🗑
renewable resources   natural resources that can be renewed or replaces by nature, such as food crops and solar energy  
🗑
nonrenewable resources   natural resources that cannot be replaced once used, such as oil, coal, natural gas, and minerals  
🗑
solar energy   energy from the sun in the form of heat and light  
🗑
geothermal energy   energy obtained from thermal energy inside the Earth  
🗑
biomass   matter formed by plants or animals that is used as a fuel, such as wood or corn oil  
🗑
hydroelectric energy   electricity generated using the power of falling water to turn turbines, usually associated with dams  
🗑
law of conservation of energy   energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form or be transferred
