Energy Forms & Properties
What type of energy is found in the sun?
Light Energy
This provides electrical energy. It can be a cell or battery.
Generator
These types of power stations use the wind.
Wind Power Stations
This is the remains of living things.
Biomass
Fossil fuels cause this
Pollution
Lightning is an example of this type of energy.
Electrical Energy
This turns a circuit on or off
Switch
These types of power stations use sunlight.
Solar Power Stations
Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are example of this.
Fossil Fuels
This gas is the main cause of global warming
Carbon Dioxide
Uranium and plutonium contain this type of energy.
Nuclear Energy
This conducts the current and is usually made of copper.
Wire
Power Stations
These use light energy from the sun to produce electricity.
Solar Panels
You should use energy from these types of sources.
Renewable
Moving objects such as a car or spinning top contain this type of energy.
Mechanical Energy
These materials let electricity pass through them easily.
Conductors
These types of power stations use water.
Hydroelectric Power Stations
These use wind energy to produce electricity in wind power stations.
Wind Turbines
Polluted rain water contains these types of substances.
Toxic
Food, fuels, cells, and batteries store this kind of energy.
Chemical Energy
This transforms electrical energy into light, sound, movement, etc.
Output Device
These types of power stations use fuels to heat water and produce steam.
Thermal/Nuclear Power Stations
Flowing water has mechanical energy called this.
Hydroelectric Energy
You should choose these types of products at home.
