Instructions: Choose The Correct Word To Fill in Each Blank in The Paragraphs Below To Reinforce

This document provides a cloze worksheet to test knowledge of different types of energy. It defines energy as the ability to do work, and work as applying a force over a distance. There are many forms of potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy and can take chemical, gravitational, nuclear, or elastic forms. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and includes mechanical, heat/thermal, electrical, and light energies. Modern societies seek renewable energy sources like wind, water, and geothermal to replace depleting fossil fuels of coal, oil, and gasoline.

_______________________            Cloze Worksheet – Energy 

Instructions:  Choose the correct word to fill in each blank in the paragraphs below to reinforce 
your knowledge of energy.  Each word box below is for the paragraph above it. 

  Energy is defined as the ability to do ___________.  Work is defined as when a force is used 
to move an object a ________________.  When thinking about energy and work, keep in mind that 
energy can be ________ in situations where no work is done.  Also, the object upon which the work 
is done can be any ________, large or small.  Inside of our cells, ________________ organelles 
perform a great deal of work moving many molecules in, out, and ______________ the inside of the 
cell.  Energy is constantly being changed or ________________ from one type of energy to another; 
there are many different ____________ of energy. 
 
  size  around           transformed          distance     work  microscopic  used  forms 
   
There are two main __________ of energy.  Stored energy is called ________________ 
energy.  Energy being used to move an object is called ________________ energy.  The most 
common forms of potential energy are _________________ potential energy, gravitational 
potential energy, nuclear potential energy, and _______________ potential energy.  Chemical 
potential energy is stored in the ____________ of chemical compounds.  Gravitational potential 
energy is due to an object having the potential to ____________ from a height or _________ down 
a hill.  Nuclear potential energy is stored in the bonds inside of the nucleus of an _________.  Elastic 
potential energy is stored in an object that has been stretched and has the potential to return to its 
original ________.

  Just as there are many forms of potential energy there are also many forms of kinetic 
energy.  In general, any system of moving parts such as fan blades turning or a car rolling is known 
as ___________________ energy.  Kinetic energy of moving molecules is called _____________ 
energy or thermal energy.  Moving electrons are a form of kinetic energy that we call 
_________________, which we use to power our home appliances.  A visible form of kinetic energy 
that we need to see things is called _______________ energy.   
   
   heat      light      mechanical      electricity   
 

In the modern era, societies have tried to discover different sources of energy to use other 
than fossil __________.  The main fossil fuels in use today are coal, ______, and gasoline.  Fossil 
fuels are known as non‐ ____________________ sources of energy because we are using these 
fuels at a faster _________ then they can be replenished.  In general, there has been a great search 
for sources of energy that will not _____ out.  These sources of energy are called renewable 
sources of energy.  Some common sources of renewable energy are from moving ____________ 
and ____________.  Electricity that is made from moving water is called __________________ 
energy.  Another renewable source of energy is from the heat inside the Earth is called 
________________ energy.
