Energy 1
____the ability of something (such as heat, light or running water) to be active or do work.
Energy
Converted
transformed
____is the amount of increased temperature that occurs due to the movement of particles in matter.
Anything that gives off or creates heat is an example
of thermal energy being released
Thermal Energy
___is the energy stored in an object’s height. The higher and heavier an object, the greater the gravitational energy that is stored.
Gravitational Energy
____a fuel (such as coal, oil or natural gas)
that is formed in the earth from dead plants or animals.
Fossil Fuel
____to protect something, especially environmentally, from
harm or destruction.
Conserve
_____is energy that is stored between the
bonds of chemical compounds like atoms or molecules.
Chemical Energy
Explain the steps involved in generating electricity from any source of your choice.
Wind spins the turbine, the turbine spins a generator, and the generator produces electricity that we can use
____a machine that converts one form of energy into another.
Generator
_____a supply of something that someone has and
can use when it is needed i.e. water, trees, mineral
Resources
_____is energy that is created from
physical movement that is caused by a force.
Mechanical Energy
Define electrical Energy
is generally created through a variety of processes. In a coal burning power plant, the natural resource - coal - is used as a fuel and burned. Steam is created from burning the coal and is funnelled into a pipeline.
____restored or replaced by natural processes: able
to be replaced by nature.
Renewable
____capable of producing desired results without
wasting materials, time or energy.
Efficient
___is generally created through a variety of processes. In a coal burning power plant,the natural resource - coal - is used as a fuel and burned. Steam is created from burning the coal and is funnelled into a pipeline.
Electrical Energy
Define mechanical energy

___not able to grow again or be made again.
Non-Renewable
_____a machine or engine which uses a stream of
air, gas, water or steam to turn a wheel and produce power.
Turbine
___uses the heat from the earth’s core as a means of either heating or cooling.
Geothermal Energy
