Across
  1. 2. - How fast an object is moving. Increased speed results in increased kinetic energy.
  2. 5. - A material or object that can return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in such materials.
  3. 6. - The process of changing energy from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy.
  4. 8. -The distance from the bottom to the top of something; affects potential energy as the height of an object increases.
  5. 12. - The energy of motion; anything that is moving has kinetic energy.
  6. 13. - Energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, like springs or rubber bands.
Down
  1. 1. - The sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
  2. 3. - A principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
  3. 4. - A group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole. Energy can be transferred within a system.
  4. 7. - The stored energy in an object due to its position or state; for example, a rock at the top of a hill.
  5. 9. -The ability to do work or cause change; exists in many forms like heat, light, sound, and motion.
  6. 10. - A form of potential energy stored in chemical bonds of molecules. It can be released during a chemical reaction.
  7. 11. -A unit of measurement for energy. Both kinetic and potential energy can be measured in joules.
