Cam – C = Chemical
Newton – N = Nuclear
Got – G = Gravitational
-----------------------------Really – R = Radiant
Excited – E = Electrical
Making – M = Mechanical
Stinky – S = Sound
Tacos – T = Thermal
1. Cam = Chemical
Energy stored in
the bonds of
atoms and
molecules.
2. Newton=Nuclear
Energy stored in
the nucleus of an
atom. The energy
that holds the
nucleus together.
.
3. Got=Gravitational
Energy of place
or position.
The higher it is,
the more
gravitational
energy it has.
4. Really=Radiant (Light)
Energy that electromagnetic
waves carry
5. Excited=Electrical
Movement of electrons creates
electrical current.
6. Making=Mechanical
The sum of PE and KE in a system.
7. Stinky=Sound
Movement of energy through
substances in waves.
8. Tacos=Thermal
The sum of KE and PE of the
particles that make up an object
(Heat).
