What is Energy?

 energy is the ability to do work

What are the different types of energy?

Types of energy can be categorized into two broad categories:
 Potential energy
 Kinetic energy

The different types of energy include:

 thermal energy
 chemical energy
 electrical energy
 motion energy
 Light energy
 sound energy
 elastic energy
 gravitational energy

What is Kinetic Energy?

 is the energy of motion. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy.

What are some examples of kinetic energy?

 Riding a rollercoaster
  Riding a bike

 People playing sport

Let’s discover the different types of energy

Thermal Energy (insert first pic )

 is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a
substance. Heat increases when these particles move faster.
What are some examples of thermal energy?
 The warmth from the sun

 Baking in an oven

 Boiling a kettle
Motion Energy (insert first pic)
 is the energy stored in moving objects. As the object moves faster, more
energy is stored.

What are some examples of motion energy?

Someone running

A fish swimming
Wind

Electrical Energy (insert also)

 is caused by moving electric charges called electrons. The faster the charges move,
the more electrical energy they carry
Electricity is a type of energy that comes from electrical energy.
What are some examples of electrical energy?
lightning

Electric eels

Electric trains
Sound Energy
 Sound is the movement of energy through a substance – like air or water –
and is caused by vibrations. Solids, liquids and gases transmit sound as
waves.

What are some examples of sound energy?

Talk or sing

Clap your hands

Play a musical instrument

Light Energy
 is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light consists of photons, which are
produced when an object's atoms heat up. Light travels in waves and is the
only form of energy visible to the human eye.

What are some examples of light energy?

Stars
Lasers

Lightbulbs

What is Potential Energy?

 is the energy stored within an object, due to the object's position, arrangement
or state.
Chemical Energy
 is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass,
petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy

What are some examples of stored chemical energy?

Coal

Chemical batteries
Sunlight

Elastic Energy
 is a form of potential energy that is stored in an elastic object - such as a
coiled spring or a stretched elastic band.
What are some examples of elastic energy?
Spring

Elastic Band

Sponge
Gravitational Energy
 is a form of potential energy. It is an energy associated with gravity or
gravitational force.

What is an example of gravitational energy in action?

roller coasters

a skateboard on the top of a ramp

The Law of Conservation of energy
 is that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be
neither created or destroyed.

Energy can be transformed from one form to another in different ways.
