Conclusion
Let's review the basics of what you have learned about energy and its different forms...
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. We use many created objects that require or produce energy, and elements in nature, such as humans/plants/animals, rely on gaining and using energy to survive.
There are five common forms of energy that we encounter daily.
Mechanical Energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. It is the energy used based on motion or position of an object.
Sound Energy is the movement of energy through waves that travel through a medium, such as water or air, for humans to hear
Electrical Energy is created when tiny charged particles called electrons move from one atom to another through magnetic forces, such as batteries, or wires.
Light Energy is the movement of visible light (a part of radiant energy) through space. It can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed.
Heat/Thermal Energy is the vibration or movement of electrons that heats objects. Heat always moves from a warmer object to a cooler object to later stabilize in temperature.
There can be more than one form of energy applied to something or someone. For example, the sun heats up the Earth and shares its light. It therefore has both Light Energy and Heat/Thermal Energy.
