Vocabulary
Absolute zero - at this temperature matter is devoid of energy. Absolute zero is -273 degrees Celsius, or -460 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Atom - the smallest unit of matter, made up of a nucleus of protons and neutrons and orbiting electrons.
Chemical energy - a form of energy locked in the cells of living or fossilized plants and animals.
E = mc² - Albert Einstein's famous equation, is read: Energy (E), equals (=) mass (m), times the speed of light, squared (c²).
Einstein, Albert - German-American physicist,
1879 - 1955.
Electromagnetic energy - waves of electricity and magnetism, called electromagnetism. It is often called light.
