1. Thermal Energy! By: Megan Kneib Paige Musser Brett Williams Lauren Edwards

2. What is it? Thermal Energy is generated and measured by the heat of any kind. It is caused by the increase of activity or velocity of molecules in a substance, which in turn causes the temp to rise accordingly. Thermal Energy is the flow of energy or a means of energy that is moving from one system or state to another. As the energy moves from one state to another a different temperature will occur.

3. Renewable or Nonrenewable Thermal energy coming from burning fossil fuels, bio fuels, ect. It is Non-renewable since we cannot get back the used fuels. Geo thermal carries heat through the core of the earth it is considered renewable because it is from the earth.

4. Thermal Energy Kinetic or not Thermal Energy is a form of Kinetic Energy produced form a random movement of molecules. It’s a system that can be increased or decreased.

5. Potential Energy Is stored energy; the energy an object has due to its position, molecular arrangement, or chemical composition. The higher an object is the more potential to fall. Example: Different heights of diving boards.
