| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to its motion |
| Potential Energy | Energy that results from the position or shape of an object |
| Elastic Potential Energy | Energy associated with objects that can be compressed or stretched |
| Mechanical Energy | The form of energy associated with the motion, position, or shape of an object |
| Nuclear Energy | A type of potential energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object |
| Electrical Energy | The energy of electric charges |
| Electromagnetic Energy | This form of energy travels through space in waves |
| Chemical Energy | This is potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds |
| Energy Transformation | A change from one type of energy to another |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | This is when one form of energy is transformed to another, no energy is lost in the process |
| Temperature | This is the measure of how hot or cold something is compared to a reference point |
| Fahrenheit Scale | The temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212F. The US uses this scale. |
| Celsius Scale | The temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100C. |
| Kelvin Scale | The temperature scale on which zero is the temp at which no more energy can be removed from matter. |
| Absolute Zero | The temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter. |
| Convection | This is a type of heat transfer that occurs only in fluids, such as water and air. |
| Convection Current | Movement of a fluid, caused by differences in the temperature, that transfers heat from one part of a fluid to another. |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves |
| Conduction | The transfer of heat from one particle of matter to another within an object or between two objects |
