Example:  Moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion

Energy is the ability to do work or apply force to move an object. 
Example: Charged particles can build up on an object. This created stored electricals energy (static electricity)

It is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate.
Example: A buzzing bee

Often used interchangeably with the terms heat and heat energy.
Example: The warmth from the sun.]]> 2021-03-23 16:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343718824 Light/Radiant Energy 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343743488 Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light consists of photons, which are produced when an object's atoms heat up. Light travels in waves and is the only form of energy visible to the human eye.
Example: Light Bulb]]> 2021-03-23 16:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343743488 Chemical Energy 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343756516 Chemical energy is a form of energy. It is energy that is stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. They can be combined with other atoms to form molecules.
Example: Wood in a fire ]]> 2021-03-23 16:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343756516 Can energy change? 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343815478 Energy can change from one form to another. For example, when you switch on a lightbulb, electrical energy changes to thermal energy and light energy. A car changes energy stored in the chemical bonds of gasoline to several different forms. A chemical reaction in the engine changes chemical energy to light energy.]]> 2021-03-23 16:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343815478 Can energy be created or destroyed? 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343826420 Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.]]> 2021-03-23 16:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343826420 Can an object transfer more than one type of energy? 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343840348 One type of energy can change into another type of energy. Energy transformation means the changing of energy from one type to another, from kinetic energy to electrical energy, or from potential energy to kinetic energy.]]> 2021-03-23 16:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343840348 How does energy flow in a system? 392123 https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343846687  A food chain shows how energy flows from one organism to another. In general, energy flows from the Sun to producers and then to consumers. The path is linear as the energy present in one step is transferred to the next. Energy may be lost in living systems as it flows through them. ]]> 2021-03-23 16:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/392123/4nmq5nf6a59lhwoy/wish/1343846687
