For the first three slides, each type of energy should be matched to a written definition and a picture that represents that type of energy.

The slides show the correct placement of the flash cards and can be printed and used

as an answer key.

chemical energy

mechanical energy

thermal energy

Energy stored in chemical bonds;

usually a substance has to burn to

release this type of energy.

energy an object has if it is moving

The energy an object has because of the

movement of its particles; heat energy;

friction always produces at least a small amount of this type of energy

nuclear

Radiant or electromagneti

c

Sound energy

Energy released when the nuclei of atoms are taken

apart or put together

This form of energy can go through

empty space; light energy

This form of energy is caused by

vibrating particles and cannot go through empty

space.

electrical energy

potential energy

kinetic energy

This type of energy involves moving electrons, usually through a wire or

cord.

Stored energy; energy that an

object has due to its position or

condition; depends on mass and

height.

The energy of an object that is

moving; depends on mass and

speed.

• In the next slide, the twelve cards in the left column are matched in sets of two. The slide shows the flash cards in the correct placement and can be printed and used as an answer key. (ex: a kite stuck in a tree shows potential energy)

• The nine cards in the right column show energy transformations and are matched in sets of three. The slide shows the flash cards in the correct placement and can be printed and used as an answer key. (ex: a fire transforms chemical energy into thermal energy and radiant energy.

potential energy

thermal energy

electrical energy

potential energy

radiant energy

Transforms electrical

energy into ______.

mechanical energy

Transforms mechanical energy into

________.

electrical energy

chemical energy transformed into ___ energy + ____energy
