electrical energy - energy of moving electrons (examples: appliances, electronics, and lightening), nuclear energy - energy in the nucleus of atoms, mechanical energy - the total energy an object has because of its potential and kinetic energy, chemical energy - energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules (examples: using batteries, fireworks exploding, and digesting food), thermal energy - energy from heat caused when molecules increase in speed (examples: using an oven, warmth from the sun, fire), potential energy - stored energy that results from the position of an object, kinetic energy - energy of motion, energy transfer - energy converted from one form to another, conduction - the transfer of heat from one substance to another that it is touching (examples: walking on hot sand, frying food on the stove), convection - the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (examples: boiling water, rock in the mantle, and air rising and cooling), radiation - the transfer of heat between objects that are not in contact with each other (examples: warming from a fire, heater, or the sun), light/radiant/electromagnetic energy - a form of energy that travels through space as waves (examples: radios, microwaves, x-rays, the sun), energy - the ability to do work, Law of conservation of energy - energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change form., conductor - A material that transfers heat well, insulator - are materials that DO NOT transfer heat well,
