Heat energyA form of kinetic energy that flows from one body to another of different temperature.

Mechanical EnergyEnergy produced fro machines set in motion.

Chemical EnergyForm of Energy that can be found in fireworks, food and medicines.

Electrical Energy

Can be produced when the energy of a material flow together.

Sound EnergySound energy travels in waves.

Radiant EnergyComes from all glowing heat source and radiates in all directions therefore sun is the chief source of radiant energy.

Nuclear EnergyComes from either splitting or combining particles found in the nucleus.

Geothermal Energy

Thermal energy is the part of the total, internal energy of a thermodynamic system or sample of matter that results in the system's temperature.

Forms of Energy

For generating electricity

POINTS TO PONDER Chemical, sound, thermal, mechanical, radiant, nuclear, and

electrical are forms of energy.

Chemical energy is stored in substances.

Mechanical energy is found in moving bodies such as wheels, windmills, and running water.

Nuclear energy can be both helpful or harmful to man.

Radiant energy is used to dry our clothes, disinfect our beddings, or diagnose diseases.
