Chemical energy stores include fuels, foods or the chemicals found in batteries. the energy is transferred during chemical reaction
1 of 7
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy stores describe the energy an object has because it is moving
2 of 7
Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy stores are used to describe the energy stored in an object because of its position, such as an object above the ground
3 of 7
Elastic Potential Energy
Elastic potential energy stores describe the energy stored in a springy object when you stretch or squash it
4 of 7
Thermal Energy
Thermal energy stores describe the energy a substance has because of its temperature
5 of 7
Energy transfers
When a falling object hits the ground without bouncing back, it's kinetic energy store decreases. Some or all of it's energy is transferred to the surroundings- the thermal energy surroundings increases, and energy is also transferred by sound waves

Conservation of energy
Energy can not be created or destroyed Energy can be stored in various ways;•when a rubber band is stretched its elastic potential energy store increases
