FORMS OF ENERGY:

Light/Electromagnetic Energy:

• Energy from the sun is very important in producing life
• This energy moves in waves like sound energy
• Ex.visible light,ultraviolet,radio waves,and x-rays

Electrical Energy:

• Energy produced by a flow of electrons
• Ex.lightening,static electricity,and household appliances

Mechanical Energy:

• Energy produced by moving object
• Ex.windmill used to make electricity,hammering a nail,paddling a boat,and peddling a bicycle

Sound Energy:

• Sound waves are like the ripples made by throwing a pebble which leads to one ripple to another
• Energy is produced by vibrating particles
• When particles vibrate they cause sound waves to travel through air

Thermal Energy:

• Energy produced from other forms of energy
• Heat is produced when particles collide

Chemical Energy:

• Energy produced by a chemical reaction
• Ex.gas

Nuclear/Atomic Energy:

• Energy given off by the splitting of the nucleus in an atom
• Atoms are tiny particles that make up all matter
