WHAT IS ENERGY?
Energy is what causes physical and chemical changes in matter and also
whatallows us to carry out work. As energy is not matter, it does not
occupy any space and does not have a mass.

Properties of Energy

Energy can be transformed: it can change from one type of energy

into another.

Energy can be transferred: energy can go from one object to

another
Energy can be transportedthrough materials that conduct it, such
as electric power cables.
Energy can be stored: this is a very useful properties.

TYPES OF ENERGY.

Mechanical energy: this is the energy that depends on the

position, motion and the deformation of bodies.

Thermal energy:is energy released by bodies in the form of

heat. It passes from hot bodies to cold bodies.

Light or luminous energy: this is the energy that light

transmits, both from the Sun and from light bulbs.

Electrical energy: is the energy that moves through electrical

currents

Chemical energy: is the energy released in chemical

reactions

Nuclear energy: is the energy in the atoms of matter. This

energy is used in nuclear power stations.

Conclusion
To make sure we have plenty of energy in the future, it's up to all of us to use
energy wisely.
We must all conserve energy and use it efficiently. It's also up to those who will
create the new energy technologies of the future.

All energy sources have an impact on the environment. Concerns about the
greenhouse effect and global warming, air pollution, and energy security have
led to increasing interest and more development in renewable energy sources
such as solar, wind, geothermal, wave power and hydrogen.
But we'll need to continue to use fossil fuels and nuclear energy until new,
cleaner technologies can replace them. One of you who is reading this might be
another Albert Einstein or Marie Curie and find a new source of energy. Until
then, it's up to all of us
The future is ours, but we need energy to get there.
