The ability to do work or cause a change
Energy
Energy that is stored by position, shape, or chemistry
Potential Energy
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form into another
The Law of Conservation of Energy
The decomposed remains of living things that died over 250 million years ago
Fossil Fuels
The measure of the average kinetic energy of individual particles
Temperature
When a force is applied to an object to make it move
Work
The energy found in things that are moving
Kinetic Energy
Chemical PE --> Thermal E + Radiant E + Sound E
Firework
These are the three major fossil fuels
Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
Oww, that hot pan just burned my hand!
Conduction
It is the scientific unit in which work is measured in
Joules
The two variables that determine an object's kinetic energy
Mass and Velocity
Electrical E --> Thermal E + Radiant E
TV
These resources are continuously replaced by the processes of nature and do not produce pollutants
Renewable Resources
If a substance has more molecules at a given temperature, then it will have more of this
Thermal Energy
It is the scientific unit in which force is measured
Newtons
The potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed
Elastic Potential Energy
Chemical PE --> Thermal E + Mechanical E
Food
Energy created by using the heat generated from the Earth (commonly used in Iceland)
Geothermal Energy
This term describes the transfer of thermal energy moving from a warm object to a cool object
Heat
The work done by an object over a certain amount of time
Power
These are the three variables that determine an objects GPE
Mass, Gravity, and Height
It is the amount of energy needed to lift one apple from the floor to a table top
1 Joule
When water is stored above a dam, flows through pipes and turns a turbine, this type of energy is created
Hydroelectric Energy
My marshmallow got way too burnt on the outside and now my s'more is ruined!
Radiation
