chemical energy  - energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances (e.g., food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane contain stored chemical energy), electrical energy - movement of electrons (e.g., electrons moving through wires is electricity; lightning), mechanical energy - movement of objects or substances from one place to another, light energy  - energy from light waves (e.g., solar, light bulb), elastic energy  - stored in objects by force (e.g., stretched rubber band or balloon), thermal energy - a form of kinetic energy resulting from the motion of particles that is transferred as heat; associated with the temperature of substances, sound energy - movement of waves through a substance or object caused by vibrations, energy conservation  - management of the use of energy resources, energy resources  - natural resources that can be used as a source of energy to do work, Energy transformation (conversion) – - process of energy changing from one form to another, Law of conservation of energy - states that energy is neither created or destroyed; it only changes form, nonrenewable  - natural resources that cannot be replaced once depleted (e.g., oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear), radiation  - the transfer of energy from a light source (e.g., Sun, fire, light bulb, burner) to an object or substance, renewable - natural resources that can be replaced by nature (e.g., solar, hydropower, wind, biomass), transform - changing from one form to another (e.g., energy transformation), kinetic energy  - energy of motion, potential energy  - stored energy of an object because of its position or shape, energy  - the ability to cause change or do work,
