A substance that allows the flow of electric
charge or transfers thermal energy through
matter.

Insulator
A substance that resists electric current or a
material that resists the flow of heat.

Chemical Energy
A form of energy produced through reactions that
occur in chemical compounds as they react to
each other or to some action.

Electrical Energy
A form of energy made available by the flow of
electric charge through a conductor.

Light Energy
A form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space; part of the
electromagnetic spectrum.

Mechanical Energy
The sum of the motion (kinetic) energy and position (potential) energy of an object or the
parts of a mechanical system.

Thermal Energy
Thermal energy is the total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the
particles move, the warmer the matter becomes.

Sound Energy
Sound energy is a form of energy that is made by vibrations and requires a medium (such as air,
water, or solids) in order to travel. Sound waves travel slower than light waves.

System
A group of interacting or interdependent elements
forming a complex whole; for example, all the factors or
variables in an environment or all the variables that
might affect a science experiment.

Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form.
