Across
  1. 5. is the stored energy an object has due to its position or the energy it has when the object is at rest, example: rock at the top of a hill, car stopped at a redlight
  2. 7. is the sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energy
  3. 9. is energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms, example: energy skate park, Newton’s cradle
  4. 10. is energy due to the motion of its molecules, the faster the molecules move the more energy it produces, also referred to as heat energy, example: conduction, convection, radiation
  5. 11. is transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves, is produced by vibrations of electrically charged particles, and can travel through empty space, example: visible light, x-rays, microwaves
Down
  1. 1. is the energy stored inside an atom by the forces that hold together the nucleus of the atom,when nucleus breaks apart or joined together, energy is released, example: sun
  2. 2. is the energy an object has due to its motion or its movement, example: car driving
  3. 3. takes place when energy changes from one form into another, example: rubbing hands together
  4. 4. is potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together, example: food, batteries
  5. 6. is the energy of moving electrons, example: plugging phone into outlet
  6. 8. is the energy that we can hear, it is a type of kinetic energy that is made from the vibration of matter, example: guitar
