ENERGY Energy comes in different forms, and each can be changed into another form.
HERE ARE SIX DIFFERENT FORMS OF ENERGY
CHEMICAL THERMAL MECHANICAL
ENERGY is the energy stored within ENERGY ENERGY bonds between molecules. (or heat energy) is the energy is the energy stored in objects There are many sources for of moving molecules. The by tension. When the tension this energy, such as natural energy that comes from a is released, motion occurs. A gas, gasoline and coal. fire is thermal energy. spring that is pressed down has mechanical energy.
RADIANT ELECTRICAL NUCLEAR
ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY (or light energy) is related to is energy that comes from is the energy created when the movement of light. The tiny charged particles called the nuclei of atoms are split Sun provides radiant energy electrons. In nature, lightning or fused. This type of energy to warm our planet. is one form of electrical is produced in nuclear power energy. plants.
