| Energy | The ability to do work or cause change |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy of motion (depends on mass and speed) |
| Potential Energy | Energy that is stored |
| Gravitational Kinetic Energy | Energy due to position comapred to Earth (depends on height and mass) |
| Chemical Potential Energy | Energy stored in bonds (can be released by burning, digesting food, or chemical reactions) |
| Energy Transformation | When energy changes from one type to another |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy cannot be created and it cannot be destroyed, but it can transform from one type to another |
| Position | The location of something |
| Point of Reference | The point to which locations and motion are compared |
| Motion | Change of location in relation to a reference point |
| Speed | How fast something is moving (it equals distance divided by time) |
| Average Speed | The total distance divided by the total time |
| Instantaneous Speed | The speed at a certain time |
| Independent Variable | The variable that you change on purpose |
| Dependent Variable | The variable that you measure in an experiment |
| Control Variable | A variable that you keep the same in an experiment |
