Potential energy
This is stored energy that
is just waiting to do work such as a coiled
spring or elastic band
Kinetic Energy
The energy that moving
things have ie, a windmill turning or a car
moving
Heat Energy
Heat is energy because it can
cause things to move
Hot air causes a hot air balloon to rise, heat
in a steam engine moves trains!
Light Energy
Light can move things in a
Crookes Radiometer or in a solar powered
calculator
Sound Energy

This energy can make
things like extractor fans move
Chemical Energy
This is the type of energy
stored in fuels such as coal and oil, it is also
stored in the food we eat and in batte
Nuclear energy
this energy is stored in the
nucleus of atoms
