Forms of Energy
Energy is the ability to do work.

Forms of Energy
Kinetic energy (K.E.)
< Back Next >

Possessed by moving objects; the faster it moves, the more K.E. it has. Potential energy (P.E.) Stored in an object because of its position or condition; the higher the position, the greater its P.E. Heat energy Possessed by hot object; can be detected by our skin. Light energy

Conserving Energy
Why conserve energy sources?
Prevent energy crisis So that non-renewable energy sources do not deplete quickly So that there will be energy sources left for future generations So that Man can still enjoy a comfortable life with the technology that uses energy sources

Conserving Energy
Ways to use energy efficiently.
Carpool Walk or cycle for short trips

< Back Next >

Use public transport if possible Switch off electrical appliances not in use Service the engines of motor vehicles and machines regularly Use fluorescent lamps instead of filament lamps

End
