1. What is Energy?

2. Energy The ability to do work or cause a change
Change in motion, color, shape, temperature, etc.
There are many forms of energy
Sound
Light
Electricity
Magnetism

3. Energy Energy can not be made or destroyed
It changes from one form to another
Every time energy changes form, some energy is given off as unusable heat

4. Chemical Energy
Energy of the electrons that form the bonds between atoms in molecules
Think of fuel
When fuel is burned in a car to make it run
When fuel is burned in a furnace to keep it hot
Food is fuel for your body – When your body burns food for energy it is CHEMICAL energy

5. Kinetic Energy Energy due to MOTION
The faster an object moves the more kinetic energy it has
The more mass an object has the more kinetic energy it has

6. Potential Energy STORED energy
Energy that is not causing any changes now, but could cause changes in the future
STORED energy

7. Mechanical Energy The ability to do work
Energy of an object due to its motion and/or position
