This document discusses different forms of energy: electrical, heat, mechanical, chemical, and nuclear energy. It also summarizes the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another. The total amount of energy in a closed system remains the same. The document provides examples of each type of energy and gives tips for conserving energy, such as using energy efficient light bulbs, turning off devices when not in use, and air drying dishes.

electrons Easily transported through power lines and converted into other forms of energy
Examples: Power lines carry Electricity
Heat Energy
The internal motion of atoms. The
...faster the molecules move, the more heat energy is produced. Examples: Friction-Changes in state of matter
Energy can be neither
created nor destroyed. The total energy in a closed system is always the same. The energy may be in different forms, but the amount will be equal.
Mechanical energy
Ways to Conserve Energy
Submitted by:
1. Replace old light bulbs with energy
saving fluorescent bulbs. They may cost more, but will save you much more in the long run.
Chemical Energy
Energy that exists in the bonds
that hold atoms together. When bonds are broken, chemical energy is released. Examples: Digesting foodbonds are broken to release energy for
Nuclear Energy
2. Turn off all electronic devices that
are not in use. Not only turn them off but try to remember to unplug them. You will be surprised how much you will save with this simple step! 3. Air dries your dishes. When washing in a dish washer, the heat generated during the wash cycle is more than enough to dry Your dishes.
When the nucleus of an atom splits,
nuclear energy is released. Nuclear energy is the most concentrated form of energy.
