Energy exists in many forms: kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and more.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Potential energy is stored energy based on position.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states energy can’t be created or destroyed.

Solar energy comes from the Sun and powers life on Earth.

Electric energy is created by moving electrons.

Sound energy travels through vibrations in air or other materials.

Nuclear energy comes from splitting or fusing atomic nuclei.

Energy transformations happen all around us, like in cars or plants.

Energy efficiency means using less energy to do the same work.
