Year 8 Energy W3

3. Stored energy that an object has because of its position or condition (for example, gravitational or elastic).
6. Energy stored in the nucleus (centre) of atoms. It can be released during nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion.
7. Energy stored in an object when it is stretched or compressed, like a spring or rubber band.
9. The energy that is transferred in a form that helps achieve the intended task.
10. (thermal) Energy related to the movement of particles in a substance. Hotter objects have more of it.
13. Energy an object has because of its height above the ground. The higher it is, the more it has.
15. Energy that is not useful for the task being done and is often released as heat or sound.

1. The energy an object has because it is moving. Faster movement means more of it.
2. Energy carried by moving electric charges (electricity).
4. The movement of energy from one object or place to another without changing its form.
5. When energy changes from one form into another form
8. Energy stored in the bonds between atoms in substances such as food, fuels, and batteries. It is released during chemical reactions.
11. Energy carried by light waves. The Sun is a major source.
12. Energy carried by vibrations moving through air, water, or solids that we can hear.
14. The amount of matter in an object. It is not a type of energy, but it can be converted into energy in nuclear reactions.
