Forms of Energy1. All energy falls into two categories:• Potential: stored energy and energy

of position• Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons,

atoms, molecules and substances.

2. What Forms of Energy Are There?

POTENTIAL KINETICChemical EnergyNuclear EnergyGravitational Energy

Radiant EnergyElectrical EnergyMechanicalSoundThermal Energy

How will we ever remember these?!

Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.

Cam= ChemicalNewton= NuclearGot= GravitationalReally= RadiantExcited= ElectricalMaking= MechanicalStinky= SoundTacos= Thermal

1. Cam=Chemical

Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries

•Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.

2. Newton= Nuclear• Energy stored

in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together.

Example: Breaking down Uranium

3. Got= Gravitational• Energy of

place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy.Example: two plants

at different heights

4. Really= Radiant•Electromagnetic

energy that travels in waves like light.

Example: Visible Light

5. Excited= Electrical•Movement

of electrons.

Example: lamp, computer

6. Making= Mechanical• The movement

of a substance from one place to another. Motion.

Example: Riding a bike

7. Stinky = Sound•Movement

of energy through substances in waves.

Example: bell

8. Tacos= Thermal• The vibration

or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.Example: stove boiling water
