Types of Energy

Types of Energy

1. Kinetic energy - anything that moves has kinetic energy e.g. water and air

2. Potential energy - energy that is stored in an object. It has the potential to do work

3. Electrical energy - Objects that need electric to work will transfer electrical energy through wires to another form. E.g. power stations and batteries

4. Chemical energy - this is a type of stored energy like potential energy. Batteries store electricl energy as chemicals

5. Sound energy - Anything we hear is sound energy. Unless wanted, it is often wasted energy.

6. Heat energy - Anything that feels warm will be giving off heat energy
