    INTRODUCTION
    Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. Modern
    civilization is possible because people have learned how to
    change energy from one form to another and then use it
    to do work.
    In physics, energy is the quantitative property that is
    transferred to a body or to a physical system,
    recognizable in the performance of work and in the form
    of heat and light.
    Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation
    of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but
    not created or destroyed.
    Energy is a fundamental property of the universe, and it
    exists in various forms.
    A resource is a physical material that humans need and
    value such as land, air, and water. Resources are
    characterized as renewable or nonrenewable. Energy and
    resources are essential concepts that play an important
    role in various aspects of our lives and the functioning of
    the planet.
    FORMS OF ENERGY
    Kinetic Energy: Energy associated with the motion of an
    object

    Potential Energy: Energy stored within an object due to


    its position or condition

    Thermal (Heat) Energy: The energy associated with the


    temperature of an object

    Chemical Energy: Energy stored in the chemical bonds


    of molecules

    Nuclear Energy: Energy released during nuclear


    reactions, such as in nuclear power plants.

    Electrical Energy: Energy carried by the movement of


    electrons
