Types of Energy

 Intro: What are we learning about?

Types of Energy , Energy Transformations

8 types of energy:

Heat: produced by movement of particles quickly (the sun)

Kinetic: allows anything to move (a car)

Sound: vibrating particles cause sound (bell sounds from microwave)

Light: from x-rays to visible light (when and x-ray uses light for your bones)

Electric: found in everything that uses electricity (light bulb)

Elastic potential: found in stretched things (a rubber band being flung)

Chemical potential: found in fuels or foods (any food)

Gravitational: found in objects high off the ground (dropping your phone)


Energy can not be created or destroyed, it just moves from one type to another: Transformation
