1 Energy: the ability to do work

2 Work: happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
Example: If you kick a soccer ball, it moves in the direction of that force

3 Kinetic Energy What is kinetic energy? Energy of motion
All moving objects have kinetic energy

4 Potential Energy How is potential energy different from kinetic energy? Energy an object has because of its position or shape

9 Thermal Energy Total energy of the particles that make up an object
At higher temperatures, particles move faster

10 Chemical Energy The energy stored in a substance that can be released when the substance reacts.

11 Electrical Energy Energy of moving electrons
Electrons are negatively charged particles and move back and forth in the wires. As they move energy is transferred to different parts of the appliance.

12 Sound Energy Caused by vibrations

13 Caused by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.
Light Energy Caused by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.

14 Nuclear Energy Energy caused by changes in the nucleus of an atom
Happens when two or more nuclei join together or when the nucleus splits
