Forms of Energy
This type of energy is stored energy, like in a battery or stretched rubber band.
Potential Energy
This is the path that electricity travels through.
Circuit
This provides the energy source for a simple circuit.
Battery
The main source of energy for life on Earth.
The Sun
This is the largest planet in our solar system.
This energy is the energy of movement.
Kinetic Energy
This circuit type has only one path for electricity to flow.
Series Circuit
This thin metal pathway carries electrical current between components.
Wire
Energy produced by moving air.
Wind Energy
The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
The Sun provides this type of energy that solar panels capture.
Solar Energy
This circuit type has multiple paths for electricity to travel.
Parallel Circuit
This device converts electrical energy into light.
Light Bulb
Energy produced by moving water in dams.
Hydroelectric Energy
This is the hardest natural substance on Earth.
Diamond
This form of energy is produced when electric current flows through a circuit.
Electrical Energy
This component opens or closes a circuit to control electricity.
Switch
This device converts electrical energy into motion, like in a fan.
Motor
Plants convert sunlight into chemical energy through this process.
Photosynthesis
The 3 (main) states of matter.
Solid, Liquid, Gas.
When energy changes from one form to another, like electrical energy becoming light in a bulb, this process occurs.
Energy Transformation
If a circuit has a break in it, electricity cannot flow. This is called this type of circuit.
Open Circuit
This component resists or limits the flow of electricity in a circuit.
Resistor
Energy stored in food that our bodies use.
This layer of the Earth's atmosphere protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone Layer
