What is the law on conservation of energy?
MEMORIZE THIS RAM!!!
It states that the amount of energy that exists in the universe remains the same.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It can only change forms.
Can energy change from one form to another?
YES
What are the forms of energy?
MEMORIZE THIS RAM!!!

What form of energy that makes things move?
mechanical energy ( memorize the spelling)
What form of energy that causes increase in temperature?
heat energy
It is the energy that results from the flow of tiny particles called electrons
electrical energy (remember electrons for electrical)
It is the energy stored in a substance and released during a chemical reaction; An new substance is produced during a chemical reaction.
chemical energy
It is the energy released when we change the nucleus of very small particles of matter called atoms.
nuclear energy
It is the form of energy that is made up of heat and light energy.
RADIANT ENERGY
It is the energy from the sun
Solar energy
