What is Kinetic energy 
Energy an object has because it's moving
What is Gravitational Potential energy 
Energy an object has because of it's height above the ground
What is Elastic Potential energy 
Energy an elastic object has when it's stretched or compressed
What is Thermal energy 
Energy an object has because of its temperature. (The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in the object)
What is Chemical energy 
Energy that can be transferred by chemical reactions involving food, fuels and the chemicals in batteries
What is Nuclear energy 
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
What is Magnetic energy 
Energy a magnetic object has when it's near a magnet or in a magnetic field
What is Electrostatic energy 
Energy a charged object has when it's near another charged object
Explain Heating 
Energy is transferred from one object to another object with a lower temperature
Explain Waves 
Waves (e.g Light and sound waves) can transfer energy by radiation
Explain Electricity  
When an electric current flows it can transfer energy
Explain Forces 
Energy is transferred when a force moves or changes the shape of an object
