the energy an object has because of the movement of its molecules, and heat can be transferred from one object to another object.
example: heat
Thermal energy
energy from the sun
solar
the ability to do work
energy
A push or a pull
force
to use less
reduce
a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes
example: light bulbs, sun
Light Energy
energy generated from moving water
hydropower
The energy an object has due to its motion
Kinetic energy
to use the same thing more then once
reuse
methods to use less energy
energy conservation
energy that's stored in charged particles within an electric field
example: lightning
electric energy
A solid fossil fuel that can be burned for energy
coal
The stored energy an object has
Potential energy
the process of converting waste materials, that would usually be thrown away, into new materials and objects
recycling
Sources of energy that can be more easily replenished. Things like wind, sunlight, waves, and earth's heat (geothermal energy).
renewable resource
energy comes from the motion of an object
example: rock rolling down a hill
motion energy
A liquid fossil fuel that can be burned for energy. It is often used to make gasoline and plastics
oil
When one object runs into another
Collision
Sources of energy that can't be easily replenished like coal, oil and natural gas.
nonrenewable resource
the idea that humans must interact with the environment in a way that ensures there will be enough resources left for future generations
sustainability
air movement
Wind energy
natural materials like trees and plants to make energy
biomass
The conversion of one form of energy to another form of energy
Energy Transfer
machine used to convert one form of energy into another
Generator
The main source of energy today (gasoline, coal and natural gas). It was formed millions of years ago out of plants and animals and is usually extracted from deep underground.
