Research:
It is important for
scientists to
conduct research
prior to beginning
an experiment.
Types of energy:
Chemical, light,
thermal, solar,
electrical, nuclear,
magnetic
Energy Category
Potential Energy:
Stored energy!
Examples are oil
sitting in a barrel,
or water in a lake.
It is called
potential energy
because if it were
released, it would
do a lot of work!
Kinetic Energy:
Energy in motion!
Examples are
moving water,
wind or electricity.
