Forms of Energy
This is form of energy is movement. It is created by a machine or moving part.
What is mechanical energy?
This always travels in a straight line, and can travel through different types of matter and environments such as air, water, glass, and even the vacuum of outer space.
What is light?
This transformation takes place when a speaker is playing music.
What is electrical to sound energy?
As a spring toy flies through the air, this form of energy occurs.
What is mechanical energy (potential and kinetic)?

This form of energy can be heard and is made by vibrating objects.
What is sound energy?
This refers to the bouncing back of light.
What is reflection?
This energy transformation causes fan blades to spin.
What is electrical to mechanical (motion) energy?
Submarines and dolphins use this form of energy.
What is sonar (sound energy)?
The faster vibrations travel the _______ the pitch.
What is higher?
This form of energy is caused by the flow of electrons. It travels in circuits.
What is electrical energy?
This refers to the bending of light.
What is refraction?
This energy transformation happens when you pedal a bike.
