| Kinetic Energy | energy of motion based on velocity and mass |
| Potential Energy | stored energy based on height and mass |
| Law of Conservation on Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only is transferred from one form to the next. |
| Electromagnetic Energy | energy of light waves |
| Sound energy | energy of sound |
| Thermal Energy | when molecules rub against each other creating heat. |
| Electrical Energy | the movement of electrons |
| Energy | the ability to do work |
| Mechanical Energy | energy of motion and movement |
| Chemical Energy | energy stored in the bonds of molecules |
| Nuclear Energy | energy stored in the nucleus of atoms – Released by either splitting (fission) or combining (fusion) |
| Convection | heat transfer through liquids and gasses |
| Conduction | heat transfer through direct contact |
| Radiation | heat transfer through space |
| Work | when force is applied on an object and it moves |
| Screw | an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder |
| Wedge | an inclined plane that moves |
| Wheel and Axle | a shaft inserted though the middle of a wheel |
| Inclined Plane | ramp, or flat surface that slopes |
| Pulley | wheel with a rope wrapped around it |
| Lever | long rigid bar that rests on and pivots around a fulcrum |
| Fulcrum | pivot point of a lever |
| Load/Resistance Force | what you are trying to push, pull, or life |
| Effort Force | the force you apply to push, pull, or lift something |
| Mechanical Advantage | how much the simple machine helps by decreasing the effort force |
| Simple Machine | uses mechanical advantage to decrease the amount of effot force |
