Done - Forms of Energy

Chemical energy and Electricty
You may have heard food gives you energy. That kind of energy is called chemical energy. Fossil fuels also carry's this energy. They include coal, oil, and natural gases.
Potential Energy
Imagine putting an object on a high shelf. You need energy to lift it off the shelf. The object still has that energy. It has Potential Energy. Potential Energy is energy that objects have because of where they are located.
Kinetic Energy
If the object falls off of the shelf and brakes, it loses it's potential energy and it changes to Kinetic Energy, the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is where something bounces, rolls, brakes, or drops.
LIght and Heat
Light and Heat are another type of energy. Light is special because it makes a food. A fire is important because it makes things work.
Gas Pump
We use gas pumps to put oil into our cars. These gases could be fossil fuels or gasoline.
Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is a hard coal. It can be used for burning or fossil fuels/gasoline.
Oil Rig
An oil rig is used to get fossil fuels from the ocean. These oils can power cars.
1. Energy: It's what makes things happen
2. Chemical Energy: It's the energy that stored in the chemicals of matter
3. Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are remains of dead plants or animals others are like coal,oil, and natural gas
4. Potential Energy: Is the energy something has because of where there located
5. Kinetic Energy: Kinetic energy is the energy that moving objects have
6. Heat: It's energy that moves from a hot object to a cooler object
