| Forms Of Energy |
| Chemical Energy: Energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms. |
| Thermal Energy: The total energy of the particles in a material. Something hot has more thermal energy than something cold. |
| Electrical Energy: Result of electrons in motion. Electrical energy is a secondary form of energy. It must be produced from another form. |
| Mechanical Energy: Kinetic and potential energy. A moving object; a spinning wheel or moving part of machinery has kinetic energy. An object with the potential to move or spin has potential energy. |
| Nuclear Energy: Nuclear fission, fusion, and radioactive decay are nuclear energy. |
| Radiant Energy: Visible light energy, x-rays, radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays are all radiant energy. |
| Energy Conversions |
| Lightbulb: Electical energy to radiant energy. |
| Nuclear Powerplant: Nuclear energy to electrical energy. |
