| Generator | Device used to create current electricity |
| Motor | Device that uses electricity to create motion |
| Materials Needed to Generate Electricity | Coils of Wire and Magnet |
| Batteries | Use Direct Current |
| Electric Sockets | Use Alternating Current |
| Electrical | Type of energy made when magnets spin near coils of wire |
| Solar | Energy of the sun is used in photovoltaic cells or to create steam |
| Biomass | Once living materials like trees and waste products are burned |
| Tidal | Uses the power of waves (moving water) |
| Geothermal | Heat from inside the earth creates steam |
| Nuclear | Atoms are split to release energy |
| Hydro | Water from a reservoir provides the energy |
| Fossil Fuels | Materials mined or pumped from the ground are burned to provide energy |
| Wind | The blades of a turbine are spun by air (not steam) |
| Turbine | Blades which spin due to steam or air |
| Renewable Energy Resources | Wind, Solar, Hydro, Biomass |
| Nonrenewable Energy Resources | Coal, Oil, Natural Gas |
| All Ways Energy Travels | Conduction, Convection, Radiation |
| Radiation | way that allows energy to pass through empty space |
| Conduction | energy gets passed by coming in contact with another surface |
| Convection | Energy goes in currents through fluids |
| Heat Energy | Thermal |
| Energy of Motion | Mechanical |
| Potential | Stored Energy |
| Kinetic | Moring Energy |
| Pulling a rubber band | Example of elastic potential energy |
| Standing on a tall diving board | example of gravitational potential energy |
| A moving baseball | example of kinetic energy |
| Sun | Main energy source for our planet |
