Energy is the ability to do work. Energy is everywhere in nature-sunlight, wind, water, plants, and animals. We use energy everyday. Two kinds of energy are kinetic and potential.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
Potential energy is stored energy. A good example of kinetic and potential energy is a frog leaping. A frog sitting on a lily pad is an example of potential energy. The frog leaping is an example of kinetic energy. Different forms of energy are light chemical mechanical heat electric atomic sound All these forms of energy can be broken down either into kinetic or potential.
