| Energy | The ability to cause change |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy in the form of motion |
| Potential Energy | Stored energy |
| Work | The transfer of energy through motion |
| Mechanical Energy | The total amount of kinetic and potential energy in a system |
| Law of conservation of energy | Energy can change form but it cannot be creaded or destroyed |
| Temperature | The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particals in a sample of matter |
| Thermal Energy | The total energy of the particals in a material |
| Heat | The thermal energy that flows from something with a higher temperature to something with a lower temperature |
| Thermal Pollution | When waste heat significantly changes the temperature of the environment |
| Specific Heat | The amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of material 1 Kelvin (J/Kg x K) |
