This material includes the following concepts: energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, 7 forms of energy (chemical, nuclear, thermal, electrical, radiant, mechanical, sound), and changing energy.

  • information cards
  • definition cards
  • illustration of how energy is changed from one form into another
Both types of energy (potential and kinetic) and the 7 forms of energy each include the following:
  • category cards
  • brief definition card
  • card with 3 examples
  • 4 photographic cards with labels

Also includes:

  • 1 control chart for the 2 types of energy (kinetic and potential)
  • 1 control chart for the 7 forms of energy (chemical, nuclear, thermal, electrical, radiant, mechanical, sound)

The cards are approx. 3¾" x 3¾", control charts are 8½" x 11" and 8½" x 14".
