6 forms of energy
mechanical
-
Examples:
a spring- this is an example of elastic potential energy because it bounces back after you pull in and release. 
a book on shelf- example of gravitational energy because it is above the ground so if the book falls it is going to have more of an impact than if it was just sitting on the ground.
chemical
-
Examples:
coal- when you burn this it creates energy for the fire
digesting food- digesting food creates energy for our bodies to move and have energy.
electrical
-
Examples:
charging cord- stored energy once you plug your phone in the energy transfers to your phone to be stored in your phone.
lightbulb- flow of electrons from the cords to the actual light.
thermal
-
Examples:
oven- it creates heat that transfers to the food that cooks the food.
microwave- it creates heat that transfers to the food that cooks the food.
radiant
