Sound Energy

A form of energy that is carried as waves in a vibrating manner.

A type of kinetic energy, because particles of matter are moving.

The cause of all sound you hear.

Thermal Energy

Is the total kinetic energy that makes up a substance.

Thermometers measure thermal energy.

Light Energy

Is a form of energy that can travel through space.

It can also pass through some types of matter.

Travels as waves

Static Electricity

The buildup of electric charges on an object

Objects with the same charge repel each other

Objects with opposite charge attract each other
