Potential and Kinetic Energy
2
All Energy can be stored in 2 states Potential or kinetic energy

What is energy? In physical science, energy means the ability to do work. Work means a change in position, speed, state, or form of matter. Therefore, energy is the capacity to change matter.

POTENTIAL energy Potential energy is stored energy--energy ready to go. A lawn mower filled with gasoline, a car on top of a hill, and students waiting to go home from school are all examples of potential energy.
5
Kinetic Energy Energy in the form of motion, such as a moving car, a roller coaster moving up and down the track or a top spinning in circles.
6
6 types of energy Chemical energy Body functions
Radiant energy Solar heat Mechanical energy Work Nuclear energy Split an atom Thermal energy Vibrating molecules Electrical energy Light bulbs
7

or lost, only transferred to a different type of energy over and over.
