Different Forms of Energy

Energy is the ability to do work, and the most remarkable thing about energy is that it can’t be created or destroyed. It just changes from one form to another. Here are some examples of how energy changes into different forms (1):

  • When you see a fire burning or feel the heat from the stove or warm objects, that’s thermal energy making heat.
  • Chemical energy is stored in fuels, food, and batteries, ready to be released when needed.
  • Electrical energy flows through power lines, lights up our homes, creates lightning during storms, and powers our favorite electronic devices.
  • Kinetic energy appears in moving objects like rolling balls, wind, and running animals.
  • Sometimes, energy is stored, like in a stretched spring or a charged battery – this is mechanical energy.
  • Nuclear energy is the powerful force created by splitting atoms in unique power plants, releasing immense energy.
  • Radiant energy, also called light energy, travels in waves from sources like the sun and is generated by the movement of light.

The forms of energy worksheet provide an engaging learning experience, challenging students to demonstrate their knowledge through one-word answer questions. By selecting the correct term from a provided word bank, young learners can test their understanding, reinforce key scientific concepts, and develop their ability to identify and distinguish between different types of energy in a simple, straightforward manner.
