1. Forms of Energy All energy falls into two categories:
Potential: stored energy and energy of position
Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.

2. Forms of Energy POTENTIAL KINETIC Chemical Nuclear Gravitational
Elastic
Radiant
Electrical
Mechanical
Sound
Thermal

3. 1. Chemical Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Example: Matches, food, batteries

4. 2. Nuclear
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together.
Example:
Breaking down Uranium

5. 3. Gravitational Energy of position or height.
Example: two skiers at different heights
Energy of position or height.
Higher = more gravitational energy.

6. 4. Elastic
Example: spring, rubberband
Energy due to a material’s condition. (squeezed together or stretched out)

7. 5. Radiant Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light.
Example: Visible Light

8. 6. Electrical
Example: computer, phone
Movement of electrons.

9. 7. Mechanical Movement of a substance from one place to another.
Example: Riding a bike
Movement of a substance from one place to another.

10. 8. Sound Movement of energy through substances in waves.
Example: bell ringing

11. 9. Thermal The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.
Example: boiling water
The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.
