Energy is due to position or movement of an object - Kinetic and Potential

Forms of energy	What is it?	Example?
Kinetic energy	Energy in movement
Mechanical energy	Makes things move by workable moving part or parts.	Wind up toy, scissors.
Thermal energy	It comes from heat. Heat is generated from tiny moving particles.	Fire, boiling water etc, stove, the earth's core, the sun.
Magnetic energy	Energy from attraction of objects made of iron.	Magnets, magnetic force, magnetic fields.
Electrical energy	Can be used to move particles through wire from a power plant to our houses and workplaces etc.	Appliances in your home, power plants, electrical currents.
Potential energy	Stored Energy
Gravitational energy	Energy stored in objects held above the earth’s surface.	People dropping things.
Elastic energy	Stretched or squashed objects.	Slingshot, spring and rubber band.
Chemical energy	Is energy stored in chemical compounds and is released in a chemical reaction.	Batteries, petrol.
Nuclear energy	Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.	Nuclear power plant - provides electricity.
