1. ENERGY…The ability to do work and it can change from one form to another!

2. Gravitational Potential Energy Picture:
Type:
Gravitational Potential Energy
Picture:
Boulder on a cliff, book on a shelf
What is it?
energy of an object that has been lifted or elevated
How is it used?
weight x height

3. Elastic Potential Energy Picture:
Type:
Elastic Potential Energy
Picture:
Rubber bands, Slinky, springs, bow and arrow
What is it?
energy that is stored in stretched out items
How is it used?
an object gains EPE as it is stretched out

4. Thermal Energy - Thermal energy is made and measured by heat of any kind. It is caused by the increased activity of molecules in something which causes the temperature to rise. There are many natural sources of thermal energy on Earth.

5. Heat from moving molecules How is it used?
Type:
Thermal Energy
Picture:
Sun, fire, iron, candle
What is it?
Heat from moving molecules
How is it used?
-heater -toaster -stove/oven -iron

6. Chemical Energy - a form of potential energy and it is possessed by things such as food, fuels and batteries. As chemical reactions happen, this energy is released.

7. stored energy in chemical compounds How is it used?
Type:
Chemical Energy
Picture:
Battery, food, gasoline, fireworks
What is it?
stored energy in chemical compounds
How is it used?
-batteries -gasoline -food -fireworks

8. Mechanical Energy -Mechanical energy describes the energy in a mechanical system. This energy includes both kinetic energy, the energy of motion, and potential energy, the stored energy of position.

9. energy of motion and position = potential energy + kinetic energy
Type:
Mechanical Energy
Picture:
Bicycle, car, windmill, fan, Ferris wheel
What is it?
energy of motion and position = potential energy + kinetic energy
How is it used?
-bicycle -turbine -fan -car

10. Electrical Energy - Electrical energy is the presence and flow of an electric charge through something such as a wire or circuit.

11. -moving electrons - objects with a plug or battery
Type:
Electrical Energy
Picture:
TV, computer, cell phone
What is it?
-moving electrons - objects with a plug or battery
How is it used?
-TV -computers
-cell phones -XBox

12. Radiant Energy (Light Energy)-Energy that comes from electromagnetic waves is called radiant energy. Electromagnetic waves take many forms, from microwaves to x-rays to visible light.

13. -vibration of electrically charged particles -can be seen
Type:
Light Energy
Picture:
Light bulb, sun, fire
What is it?
-vibration of electrically charged particles -can be seen
How is it used?
-sun -light bulb -fire

14. Sound Energy- Sound energy is the energy produced by sound vibrations as they travel through a solid, liquid or gas. Sound vibrations cause waves.

15. vibrating particles cause waves How is it used?
Type:
Sound Energy
Picture:
Music, talking, TV
What is it?
vibrating particles cause waves
How is it used?
-music -talking -TV -SONAR

16. Nuclear Energy - Nuclear energy is energy in the middle of an atom
Nuclear Energy - Nuclear energy is energy in the middle of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. There is an enormous amount of energy in the bonds that hold atoms together.

17. Type: Nuclear Energy Picture: What is it? Nuclei split or join
Atomic bomb, atom, sun
What is it?
Nuclei split or join
How is it used?
-sun -atomic bomb
