| A | B |
| Never created and never destroyed, but constantly changing form | energy and mass |
| transfer of energy from one place to another | work |
| stored energy due to position | potential energy |
| energy of motion | kinetic energy |
| Conservation of Mass and Energy | Energy and mass cannot be changed or destroyed, only changed in form |
| transfer of heat through objects that touch | conduction |
| heat transfer where warm gas or liquids rise above cooler | convection |
| transfers by waves through space and can be blocked | radiation |
| substance that transfers heat easily | conductors |
| substance that does not transfer heat easily | insulators |
| travels by waves | electromagetic energy |
| warm matter rises and cool sinks in a continuous motion | convection cycle |
| Energy stored in bonds of molecules | chemical |
| Energy used by machines to do work | mechanical |
| Energy from the flow of electrons | electrical |
| Conversion of energy from one type to another type | transfer of energy |
