SoundEnergy- is produced when an object is made to vibrate.Sound energy travels out as waves in all directions. Sound needs amedium to travel through, such as air, water, wood, and even metal! Examples: Voices, whistles, horns andmusical instruments.
ChemicalEnergy - is really a form of potential energy and is theenergy stored in food, gasoline or chemical combinations. Examples: Striking a match, combiningvinegar and baking soda to form CO2 Gas, breaking light sticks releaseschemical energy.
RadiantEnergy - is a combination of heat and light energy. Lightenergy, like sound energy, travels out in all directions in waves. Examples: A light bulb, the glowingcoils on a toaster, the sun, and even headlights on cars.
ElectricalEnergy - Energy produced by electrons moving through asubstance is known as electrical energy. We mostly see electric energyin batteries and from the outlets in our homes. Electrical energylights our homes, run motors, and makers our TVs and radios work. Examples: CD players, TVs and Videogames.
AtomicEnergy - is produced when you split atoms. A tremendousamount of energy is released when this happens. Examples:Atomic bombs, nuclear power plants, nuclearsubmarines, and the sun.
MechanicalEnergy - is moving energy. It is the form that we most seearound us. All moving objects produce mechanical energy. The movementswithin machines is also mechanical energy. Examples: People, a rolling bicycle,moving gears, and running cars.
