Energy
1 Energy Types
1.1 Kinetic (movement)
1.2 Thermal
1.3 Gravitational
1.4 Light
1.5 Sound
1.6 Strain
1.7 Electrical
1.8 Chemical
1.9 Nuclear
2 Energy on the move
2.1 Conduction
2.1.1 Energy passes from atom to atom
2.2 Convection
2.2.1 Atoms carry energy when they move
2.3 Radiation
2.3.1 Energy moves in rays E.g. the sun
3 thermal energy / temperature
3.1 Sparks
Tiny sparks = high temperature/few atoms/vibrate less/low energy
3.2 Water
Warm bath = low temperature/lots of atoms/vibrate more/high energy

4.3.1.1 Biomass
4.4 Fossil fuels
4.4.1 Gas
4.4.2 Oil
4.4.3 Coal
5 Laws of Energy
5.1 As energy spreads, it becomes less useful
5.2 Energy cannot be created or destroyed
6 Burning Fuel
6.1 Problems
