Energy Intro WB

There are nine main energy types including kinetic, gravitational, electrical, chemical, nuclear, elastic, thermal, radiant, and sound energy. Potential energy is stored energy an object has due to its position or state. Energy can be transformed from one type to another through different events and processes.

There are nine main energy types:


Energy Type Description
Kinetic Energy

Gravitational Energy

Electrical Energy

Chemical Energy

Nuclear Energy

Elastic Energy

Thermal Energy

Radiant Energy

Sound Energy

Potential Energy
An energy type is considered a “potential” energy if it is ________________.
For example, gravitational energy is a potential energy, because it is
stored in an object that has the ability to fall. Elastic potential energy is a
form of energy stored in objects that are stretched, compressed or
somehow otherwise distorted. Nuclear potential energy is stored in the
nucleus of the atom, and chemical potential energy is stored in the
bonds between atoms.

Energy can be transformed from one type to another. On the next


page, brainstorm real events that result in an energy transformation from
one form to the other.

Q1. Devise a mnemonic device to help you remember the nine energy
types. Recall, a mnemonic device is a phrase formed in which each
word begins with the first letter of each word you are trying to
เปรี้ยว
remember. E.g. Never eat sour watermelons is one mnemonic device
used to remember the directions north, east, south, west. Note: you
can re-order the energy types.
