Energy is the ability to do work and causes things to change and move. There are different forms of energy that fall into kinetic energy, involving motion, and potential energy, involving stored energy. Energy can change from one form to another but can never be destroyed. Key types of energy include thermal, chemical, nuclear, electrical, sound, motion, light, gravitational, and elastic energy.

1. energy
Energy is the
ability to do
work. Energy is
how things
change and
move. It's
everywhere
around us and
takes all sorts of
forms. It

3. Types of energy
different types of
energy, which all fall
into two
primary forms –
kinetic and potential.
Energy
can transform from one
type to another, but it
can never be destroyed

5. Thermal or heat
energy
vibration of atoms and
molecules within
substances. The faster
they move, the more
energy they possess
and the hotter they
become. Thermal
energy is also
called heat energy.

6. Chemical Energy
atoms and molecules
– it is the energy that
holds these particles
together. Stored
chemical energy is
found in food,
biomass, petroleum,
and natural gas.

7. Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is
stored in the nucleus
of atoms. Nuclear
power plants split the
nuclei of uranium
atoms to produce
electricity.

8. Electrical Energy
particles that make up
atoms, along with
protons and
neutrons). Electrons
that move through a
wire are called
electricity. Lightning is
another example of
electrical energy.

9. Sound Energy
through substances. It
moves in waves and is
produced when a force
makes an object or
substance vibrate.
There is usually much
less energy in sound
than in other forms of
energy.

10.  Investigate about
“motion energy”, “light
energy”, “gravitational
energy” and “elastic
energy”
Draw 3 examples of
each one.
