Moving energy is kinetic energy.

Energy Types 01

Energy exists in many types, such as heat, light, sound, and movement. In KS3 Science, pupils study how energy changes form while following conservation rules.

Fascinating Fact:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one type to another.

In KS3 Science, pupils explore different types of energy such as kinetic, thermal, and electrical. They also learn the principle of conservation of energy and how it applies to real life.

Key Terms

  • Kinetic Energy: The energy of movement, such as a rolling ball or a moving car.
  • Thermal Energy: The energy of heat that makes particles vibrate faster.
  • Conservation of Energy: The idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are the main types of energy in KS3 Science?

The main types of energy include kinetic, thermal, light, sound, chemical, electrical, and gravitational potential energy.

What does conservation of energy mean?

Conservation of energy means energy cannot be created or destroyed. It only changes form, such as chemical energy in food becoming kinetic energy when you move.

Why is learning about energy types important?

Learning about energy helps pupils understand how machines, living things, and natural systems work, and how to use resources more efficiently.
