5. Name a form of energy, and relate it to kinetic or potential energy.
Closure
Name a form of energy, and relate it to kinetic or potential energy.

6. Conclusion Answer
Thermal energy depends partly on the kinetic energy of the particles that make up an object. The more kinetic energy the particles have, the more thermal energy the object has.
