HOW DO THE SIX FORMS OF ENERGY DIFFER?


Chemical energy:
This energy is stored in some substances.
Chemical energy is stored in food.
Chemical energy can be stored in batteries.
Thermal energy:
This is energy in the form of heat. Thermal energy heats objects up. When an object releases thermal energy, it cools down.
Light energy:
This is energy in the form of light. The Sun is a natural source of light energy.
Electrical energy:
This is energy in the form of electricity. Electricity travels to homes and factories in the through metal cables.
Nuclear energy:
This type of energy is stored in the atomic structure of all matter. Scientists release this energy by breaking down radioactive materials (uranium). In nuclear power stations, nuclear energy is transformed into the electrical energy that we use.
