Kinetic and Potential Energy
Lesson 3.1 - Forms of Energy
Energy is the ability to cause change. A moving object has a form of energy called kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy (including gravitational, elastic, and chemical potential energy). Thermal energy is energy that moves from place to place because of differences in temperature. |
Lesson 3.2 - Energy Transfer
Energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light, and sound waves, or by moving objects.

Thermal Energy and Heat Transfer
Lesson 3.3 - Temperature, Thermal Energy, and Heat
Heat is the movement of thermal energy due to a difference in temperature. Thermal energy flows from areas of higher temperatures to areas of lower temperature. Video Links:
