Science Vocabulary

4. of Conservation of Energy - The theory that energy can only transfer between objects and change form; it is never created or destroyed.
5. A push or a pull that causes movement or a change in motion.
7. A type of mechanical force where a sudden force pushes an object in a specific direction.
9. Energy - Energy resulting from the movement of atoms and molecules in a system, causing them to collide with each other. Faster moving particles results in higher temperatures and slower moving particles results in lower temperatures.
11. Energy Energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion and position.
14. When one type of energy is converted into another; like when dammed water is released and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
15. Transfer - The process by which energy is moved from one area to another.
16. Energy - Energy (both visible and nonvisible light) resulting from the release of electromagnetic radiation; which does not require a medium and is released in all directions.
18. Energy - Energy stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules.
19. Energy The energy stored in an object
20. energy radiant energy emitted by the sun.

1. Potential Energy - Energy stored due to an object’s position above the surface of a planet.
2. Energy - Energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (usually electrons) from one point to another.
3. energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases
6. A measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
8. power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines.
10. Potential Energy - Energy stored from stretching, compressing, or distorting a material that spontaneously returns to its original shape; like springs or rubber bands.
12. The unit of measurement used to describe the amount of energy that is in a system or that is being used/released in a system
13. Energy The energy of an object has a result of its motion (can be on an atomic level).
17. Energy - Energy that is stored within an atom’s nucleus. Nuclear reactions including fusion, fission, and radioactive decay are sources of this type of energy.
